The preliminary step in identifying a possible mold and mildew problem is the visual examination. Throughout this phase, we will be searching for three factors: proof of water leakage or intrusion, visual indicators of of mold and mildew development, as well as locations with a capacity for mold growth in the future. An assessment will encompass the interior living area, attic area, basement as well as the crawl space or storage area. The exterior of the dwelling will also be examined for indicators of water damage or or structural issues that might lead to moisture seepage into the dwelling.
