Modesto Mold Inspection

Living in Modesto puts us quite a distance from the ocean. Unfortunately, that does not shield us from the risk of mold being in our homes and causing harm. Modesto has been here for a long time, and so have some of the homes, as well as the plumbing systems in those homes. Because of that, we have to be extra careful to make sure all that that aging plumbing stays in good shape, so we don’t end up with leaks that could allow mold to grow.

Take the time to look at your plumbing throughout the home to check for possible leaks. Be proactive about it, so you don’t have to be retroactive about it!

1. Firstly, check all the fittings to the walls to make sure everything is snug and there are no places that water could leak out. All of the appliances, water lines, and pipes should be checked regularly. Even those pesky water machine lines should be checked out to make sure everything is in good working order.

2. Check all of the fittings to the appliances themselves, making sure there is a tight seal on water line and drains so that there is no excess water being spewed into your beautiful home.

Even a small leak over time can cause serious damage if mold begins to grow, which it can do very quickly given the heat that we experience in Modesto.

If you do find that one of your appliances has been leaking, make sure to stop any further damage from happening. Then it would be in your family’s best interest to have a mold inspection done if you can see any damage that has been caused by the leak. The only way to be sure there is no mold growing in your home is to have an inspection and testing done by a certified inspector.

Testimonials

 

When Isaac came over, it was freaking us out a little to have an inspection done for mold, wondering what would happen if they did find anything. Luckily he explained everything to not only me but my tenant as well, putting us at ease that it will be okay and we can get it worked out. Thanks Isaac, saved me!
