Insulation Mold?
A picture of a room in an older home located in Beverly Hills.  Behind the furniture, mold was found on the interior walls.  Limited air flow and a lack of insulation created extreme mold conditions.

Shower Mold
Over splash around a bathroom is very common.  Sinks, showers, toilets and bath tubs are a source of water.  Swab samples were used by the mold inspector to collect mold spores from the surface of the drywall.



After a Fire
Water is the likely to flow down into adjacent condo units after a fire.  Extreme saturation of the building materials indicated the potential for mold growth.  Mold Remediation followed after the Primary Mold Inspection was completed.

Room addition Mold
Room additions add value to a property.  This mold inspection revealed improper construction resulting in a construction defect,  allowing moisture to penetrate the building envelope.  



Bathroom Mold
Bathroom tubs and showers are a red flag that can lead directly to amplified areas of fungal growth.  Access panels located behind a tub should be inspected often every 6 months.  08-18-07



Ceiling Mold
Samples for fungi can be taken in almost any location or your property.  Roof leaks can often result in a moldy ceiling if not tended to immediately. A full inspection of the building should occur.



Remodeled Bathroom
Exterior indicators can point inspectors in the correct location.  Excess moisture was found behind this wall.  A tub was converted into a shower to a height of 5'.  Mold growth was confirmed on the building interior.



Faulty Plumbing Mold
