Bringing Home Baby

By | January 25, 2018

When my husband and I found out that we were expecting, he went a little overboard with the safety precautions. I thought having a company that specializes in mold inspection in Yonkers come and check our home for the dangerous black mold that causes disease was a bit extreme, but he was committed to making sure our home was as safe as possible for our little one.

To tell the truth, because we had not noticed any signs of mold around the house, I thought he was really being silly. I was sure that if mold was growing in our home, we would see something. I checked under the sinks and even in the basement for some sign of mold, but found nothing. I also assumed that any mold would give the house a musty smell. Both of my assumptions were wrong. I was glad we had a company with experience in mold inspection in Yonkers come out. They found several patches of dangerous black mold growing in the spaces between our walls. They explained to me the many health risks of black mold – it can even cause disease.

The inspectors were able to pinpoint several locations were the mold was growing and even helped us to determine why. Mold needs a dark, damp, cool environment to grow. The fact that mold was growing in our walls meant there was some sort of leak in the house that was causing the moisture. We were able to track down a minor plumbing problem on the second floor. The very slow leak was dripping onto the floor boards and down into the wall space.

Hiring a company that specializes in mold inspection in Yonkers allowed us to remove the dangerous and disease causing mold before we brought home our baby. I am so happy my husband insisted on it.
