We don’t test for mold sensitivity or offer medical or relationship advice, but if you already know you’re sensitive to mold we can help with testing your environment.

A mold inspection looks for threats to the structure of the home from mold and moisture rather than the cause of a mysterious ailment.
A limited visual inspection of the home is done to assess any points of moisture intrusion, relative humidity levels, ventilation, and any visible organic growth.

Air samples are also taken and sent to a laboratory for analysis of the amount of spores in the air and the type.

As always, the most important step in fighting mold is prevention by way of controlling its moisture source. Any roof leaks, plumbing leaks, leaks in windows or doors, large holes or gaps that allow excessive air infiltration, water in the crawlspace, inadequate ventilation of the crawlspace can be causes and contributing factors of a mold infestation. If any of these conditions are present correction is necessary before any remediation can be fully effective.

We take the time to look at the big picture and compile detailed but easy to read digital reports to accompany the mold analysis from the laboratory. Whether you have mold or not in your home, after a mold inspection your next steps for remediation or prevention should be clear.

My first thought is why carry your mug up on the roof?

My second thought is, it seems way more probable that this was first caused by a flashing issue at either the apron flashing or step flashing or both.

When a roof plane meets a vertical wall, flashing is required to prevent water from dripping down the wall and behind/under the shingles. From this video, flashing appears to be installed incorrectly or missing completely at both the headwall and the sidewall where they meet the roof.

A gutter discharging on a lower roof surface is acceptable and generally should not cause a roof to fail prematurely. But incorrectly installed flashing or missing flashing can cause premature failure of the roof.

If the roof was left in service longer than it’s typical life expectancy, the water from the downspout could speed up the deterioration of the shingles and erode the granules, but at that point it’s a moot point and the gutter downspout is not the defect.
