What Causes Mold
Mold is naturally occurring in our environment. Anytime it finds an organic food source, the right temperatures, and humidity… mold spores begin to reproduce.
In your home, mold often becomes a problem in high humidity areas, or in areas that have suffered a water damage.
Most often, the first signs of a mold problem will be a musty smell or visible spores. Look for these signs if you suspect you have a mold problem in your home:
- Musty odor
- Presence of visible mold
- Any evidence of water damage or leaks
- Excessive humidity
If you suspect mold, the first step is diagnosing the problem.
A Home Mold Inspection from Branch Environmental will take the guesswork out of your issue. Our team will define exactly what type of mold issue you have, the extent of it, and steps necessary for remediation.

FAQ
What Is Toxic Mold?
People commonly associate believe that black mold is toxic. While this can be true, there are many species of mold of many different colors. Any mold that has a negative impact on your health and wellbeing is toxic and should be addressed.
Do You Take Air Samples For Mold?
Air sample may or may not be a part of our Indoor Air Quality Assessment. We generally do not offer air sampling as a stand-alone service. Mold is a natural organism found in the air we breathe every day. Air sampling can lead to false assumptions if the results are judged alone. In certain cases, however, air samples may be a useful tool to help identify the source of mold in your home. We use air sampling on a case-by-case basis when the circumstances are appropriate.
Will My Home Inspector Find Mold?
Home inspectors will likely find obvious mold growth, and they can identify water leaks or damp environments than may foster mold growth. Home inspectors are not typically trained to find hidden mold sources and that is beyond the scope of most home inspections.
Is A Mold Remediation Expensive?
That depends on your particular case. Often mold can be cleaned with minimal disruption to your home. Other cases will require more extensive removal of walls and floors. We will help guide you through determining what is appropriate in your particular case.
Should I Leave My Home If I Find Mold?
That is a decision you will need to make for yourself. Most often mold presents temporary symptoms that go away once the mold is removed. In other cases, people will need to cleanse the toxins from their body before they begin to feel better. You should consider your own symptoms and consult with a doctor when deciding if you can safely stay in your home after you have discovered mold.
