Signs to Check in Slaton 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.

- 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.

- 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.
