I had arrived only a few months before the unit wide inspection and was immediately lent to the Standardizations and Evaluations shop to help prepare the wing for inspection.

Mold is usually found in damper areas of the home, such as the basement, crawl space or bathroom, but it can also be found where there is constant moisture. Usually, improper drainage, leakage or high humidity causes mold infestations. If you begin to smell a musty odor, or you otherwise suspect you have a mold infestation, getting a mold inspection done may be your first line of defense to ensure both the safety of your family but also that further damage is not done to the home.
