This month we talked about the difference between looking at visible conditions and measuring a specific environmental factor. Both can be useful. The right first step depends on the question, the property's history and the available service scope.

Keep the conversation going: call (410) 245-7654 with your home or client question, and Pat can explain the next step and current availability.

Moisture is usually the real issue behind mold growth. If you notice staining, musty odors, or visible growth, the first step is identifying and correcting the moisture source before it gets worse. Mold concerns should be handled with clear information and proper testing when needed.

A useful first call takes only a few details: where the property is, whether you own it or are buying it, what prompted the concern, and any real deadline. Then Pat can discuss whether an inspection or targeted testing fits and confirm what can be scheduled.

Call (410) 245-7654. We would rather give you a clear answer about scope and timing than promise a date before checking the calendar.
