Mold Remediation
Certain types of mold may present concerns for your health, as can excessive amounts of any mold (like the pictures below from an actual job site).
Because mold can result from water damage, it is important to have any water damage extracted and cleaned promptly by a professional. Signs that could indicate the presence of biological growth and damage may include (but are not limited to):
- Visible evidence of mold growth on walls, ceiling, and other surfaces.
- The presence of strong, musty odors.
- Any signs of moisture damage from the past that may have caused undetected mold growth.
- An excess of humidity.

In this first one, everything looks okay, right?
Now, introduce a bit of water (courtesy of a small leak in a water line). And…
You never know what’s lurking in the background. So, be on the lookout for warning signs like musty odors, soft spots or bubbling in the floor or walls, or suspicious-looking staining. Check those out before you have a real problem on your hands!

Attic Mold Remediation
It’s easy to forget about your attic. You might not even think to look up there when you’re buying a house…until the home inspector comes along, and then you’re in for a surprise. But don’t give up on a house just because it needs the Certified Indoor Air team to work some of our “magic” on it. You don’t need to lose a sale — because we have a solution in place to abate it. The problem can be directly linked to wet building materials, inadequate ventilation, bird blocks blocked with insulation, vents not properly attached while venting to the attic creating moisture and humidity, etc.
