Mold needs moisture to grow. Basements, attics, bathrooms and anywhere water has leaked are the usual places it starts. A mold inspection looks for visible growth and, just as important, for the moisture problem behind it.
Northeast Ohio's humid summers, wet springs and below-grade basements make moisture a common concern. Dan checks the areas where mold is most likely and explains what he sees, so you know whether you are dealing with a small cleanup or a bigger moisture issue.

Four seasons
Freeze-thaw cycles and heavy snow are hard on roofs, gutters, chimneys and concrete.
