Today, Brett from Indoor Restore joins us to discuss how to detect mold in your home and how to get it taken care of.

The first thing any homeowner should look for is signs on the walls; it's the easiest place for water intrusion to happen and mold to grow. Signs include peeling paint, bubbling paint, and bowing in the walls, among other things. If you're buying a home, be sure to keep an eye out for moisture on the walls or anything wet to the touch.

Black mold is more obvious. It's a toxigenic mold that affects every person differently, but people with asthma and respiratory problems will likely be most affected. If you believe there is an issue, it's crucial you get an inspection done.

Typically, if you've been living in the home for a while and haven't had any problems, it will

be alright to continue living there. If the mold is the result of a recent leak and is affecting your health in any way, it might be time to get out of the house and have it inspected.

Indoor Restore will take samples
from around the entire house for less than $400. Once the results come back, they will come to get rid of the mold if it is detected. They will make sure the whole house has been decontaminated and will give you a 10-year warranty on their work. If you choose a product that includes restoration work, it will extend the warranty another five years. In short, when Indoor Restore leaves, you'll have a clean house and a 15-year warranty to protect you!
