Signs to Check in South Lubbock 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.

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.
