Mold Inspection and Testing in Durham
Before we can start treating your mold problem, we first learn everything we can about it. This lets us create a custom treatment plan that’s tailored to your home’s unique conditions, ensuring you get the most efficient care possible.

The Dangers Of Mold
Mold spores are invisible to the naked eye and are present in both indoor and outdoor air. When mold spores land on a damp surface, they will start to grow. Mold growth can cause structural damage to your home and may lead to health problems, such as:
- Allergies
- Asthma
- Respiratory infections
Mold is a common problem in homes, and it’s especially prevalent in crawl spaces. Mold loves damp, dark environments, and a humid crawl space provides the perfect conditions for mold to grow.
