FAQs
– What is mold, and why does it matter?
In nature, mold plays a crucial role in breaking down dead organic matter such as trees and leaves. However, having mold in your home may lead to harm and should be avoided or eliminated. Mold spreads and multiplies through tiny spores that cannot be seen by the naked eye. Although there are various types and hues of mold, all of them require moisture to thrive.
– Why do you need a professional Mold Inspection service?
A comprehensive mold examination can bring clarity both figuratively and literally in a real estate deal. By examining mold in the home. The purchaser can make sure that the property is devoid of high levels of mold damage and the seller will feel satisfied knowing that they have acted responsibly towards the buyer. As mold is difficult to be present for the bare eye, engaging a proficient mold inspector can be beneficial for both parties.
– Can mold grow behind drywall?
Yes, mold can grow behind drywall if conditions are favorable. Moisture, warmth, and a food source, such as paper or wood, are the ideal conditions for mold growth. If there is water damage, leaks, or high humidity levels in a room, mold spores can easily penetrate and begin to grow behind it.

Had a terrific experience with Scott. I’m buying a condo in Oxnard which had had some prior issues and repairs. Scott took the time and listened to my concerns and did a very complete inspection. He addressed all my questions and also reviewed some previous inspection/repair docs from the seller to ensure that things were as they should be. Happy to recommend.

Scott looked gave us recommendations based on the test results we were working with. He was honest and helpful. We’ve decided to replace our HVAC and install an air scrubber to help with air quality. Scott was able to recommend the air scrubber he’s used in the past.
