WHEN TO TEST FOR MOULD
A Vernon home is usually tested for mould after a leak or flood, when a musty smell will not go away, when growth is visible, or before buying a house that has had moisture problems. Mould needs moisture to grow, so a test is worth booking wherever damp has been.
AFTER A LEAK OR FLOOD Materials that stayed wet.
A SMELL THAT LINGERS A musty odour that will not air out is worth checking.
BEFORE YOU BUY Know what is in the air before you buy.
WHERE MOISTURE TENDS TO COLLECT
Mould tends to show up where water has sat or air stays damp.
