Expert Mold Inspection Services for Residential and Commercial

One of the main goals of a mold inspection is to identify the mold you don’t see. A mold inspection will identify the mold hidden behind the wall, in the ceiling cavities or under the floorboards. To find hidden mold the mold inspector from ServiceMaster by PWF  will almost certainly need to get some form of access behind the structural element. Gaining access will usually require drilling an access hole or taking or a wall panel, some level of mold damage is inevitable. The extent of the mold inspection should be explained and understanding between all parties involved.
