My house has a musty smell, what do you suggest?

After you evaluate your home for the source of the smell (i.e. clean home, use of dehumidifier) and your issue continues, we would suggest a mold inspection.

What is a mold inspection?

For a typical home we visually inspect the home, sample the air on each floor and an outdoor reference sample. Tape lifts can be taken of any signs of staining or mold growth. Non-intrusive wall cavity samples can be taken. We can take moisture readings of walls or floors. This includes approximately eight samples; additional samples may incur additional fees. A report will be issued with the findings, lab results and recommendations for remediation.

What is a mold clearance?

Typically after remediation is completed, we will only take air samples. Air samples will determine if the remediation was successful. We do not do any other testing or inspections at that time. A report will be issued with the lab results.
