Signs to Check in Childress Homes

Visible mold, a damp patch on a ceiling or wall, a musty smell, or spots that keep growing are the signs that matter. Two or more together are a strong reason to call and describe them rather than waiting.
Signs alone are not proof of the cause. A damp patch can come from a roof leak as well as a pipe leak, and a musty smell can come from damp materials as well as from a leak that is still running. The visit looks for the cause — where the moisture came from, and how far it has spread into the walls, floors and ceilings — and the work is planned from what is found, because work done without finding the source is work that comes back. If you have just moved in, or brought used appliances home, check the kitchen, the bathroom and the water heater first: mold is often found in the first weeks in a new home.

Visit and Inspection — What Happens
A visit in Childress starts the way it does everywhere else on this site: the rooms involved are looked at first, then the walls, floors and ceilings around them. The findings decide what work is needed and which rooms are involved.

How to Prepare for a Mold Remediation Visit in Childress
Preparation makes the visit quicker and more thorough. The exact list depends on the problem and the rooms involved, and it is confirmed with you before the visit. The general steps below apply to most homes in Childress.
- Clear access to the rooms and areas involved — move furniture, rugs and boxes away from the affected areas where you can do so safely — so the visit can start without moving things on the day.
- Note when the mold was first seen, where it is, and whether there was a leak or a flood before it appeared. A short note of dates and signs helps the visit start in the right place.
- Do not disturb large areas of mold growth, and keep children and pets away from the affected areas until the visit.
- Move valuables, electronics and soft furnishings away from the affected areas where you can do so safely, and take photographs of the visible mold and the damp areas before anything is moved.
- If the mold is in a rental, tell the landlord or property manager as well — the visit is easier to plan when the person responsible for the property knows what is happening.
- Most Texas homes do not have a basement — if the mold is in one, say so on the call, because the visit is planned differently for the few homes that do.
If the mold covers a large area, do not try to clean it yourself before the visit — the EPA suggests that mold covering about 10 square feet or more is best left to a professional, and disturbing it can spread it further.
