Mold Inspection and Testing Cape Coral
Have you Experienced Recent Water Damage or Noticed Musty or Strange Smells?
This may be a sign of a mold issue. Mold is most likely, but not limited, to occur when a building or home has experienced some type of water damage. This is a more frequent occurrence in tropical areas that experience heavy rainfall or natural disasters such as hurricanes. If you’ve experienced flooding or suffered water damage, your property is susceptible to dangerous mold growth. If you suspect your property has been affected by mold contact Mr. Dry Services. We provide 24 hour emergency services for water damage and mold inspection in Cape Coral and throughout Southwest Florida.
Detecting Mold in a Home or Business
FAQ: Does an indoor air quality test detect the presence of mold?
Indoor air quality checks are just one method that will help identify the presence of mold. In addition to mold, it may also reveal the presence of allergens, radon, asbestos and other harmful agents. A full mold inspection and testing involves more than just an air quality test.

Why You Should be Concerned About Mold
Mold can grow at a fast and rapid pace in a few short days after water damage occurs. When you can see signs of mold or smell the odor of mold you are dealing potentially with millions of mold spores. The negative effects of mold to the structure of your home are bad, but the health hazards associated with mold in your home or business are far more dangerous.
If you’ve experienced water damage of any kind, trying to deal with the aftermath by yourself may not be enough to avoid the harmful effects of mold growth. What would be a simple clean up job today could evolve in to a significant mold or structural problem in the months ahead if not identified and treated properly. DIY kits are not enough and are not as accurate as testing done by professionals. If you see some indication of mold it’s highly likely that there is mold in your property that you can’t see. And that’s why you need a professional.
