🦠 Sometimes the mold you SEE isn’t the mold you need to worry about… 👀
We were originally called out to investigate some dark-looking areas on the subfloor. What looked like it might be a fairly straightforward inspection quickly turned into something much more involved.
Once we started opening up the affected areas, we discovered multiple locations with visible microbial growth, saturated drywall, wet insulation, and moisture hidden inside wall cavities and around the subfloor.
Basically… the house decided to keep a few secrets. We’re pretty good at finding those. 😂🔎
This is exactly why proper moisture investigation is so important. Water doesn’t always stay where you can see it. It can travel underneath flooring, behind drywall, into insulation, and through framing cavities—creating conditions for microbial growth long before a homeowner realizes there’s a problem.
The project is still underway, but we’re systematically identifying the affected materials, removing what cannot be properly restored, cleaning and treating salvageable structural materials, and addressing the moisture conditions so we’re not simply covering up the problem.
Our clients have been extremely impressed—and relieved—that we were able to uncover and tackle several issues they didn’t even know were there.
Finding mold isn’t the goal. Finding the source, determining the full extent of the damage, and properly correcting it is. 💪
