With St. Louis founded in 1764, it is not surprising that 19th-century architecture can still be seen throughout the city and its suburbs. These homes are a staple of the metropolis’s unique appearance, but this aging architecture has some concerns. Mold can severely threaten these older building materials, especially in common growth areas within the house. Once you know what and where to expect it, you can see if mold remediation services are necessary.
Finding Mold In Your Missouri Residence
Before mold damage restoration in St. Louis can begin, you must determine if these services are necessary. Understanding where mold growth could occur most readily in your household gives you a launching point for thorough property inspections for physical signs of colonization. While professionals have more intricate equipment like thermal imagery, sensors, and probes, visible spotting on surfaces is enough to start the remediation and removal processes.
- Attics – From heavy storms that can damage the roof integrity of houses to humid conditions in this enclosed space, moisture in the attic can spread mold quickly.
- Basements—Similarly, many St. Louis homeowners do not regularly inspect their basements, which means that moisture concerns can go unchecked and develop into mold, especially on the subflooring under the main level.
- Bathrooms—Older grout materials, non-water-resistant flooring, and baseboards can react poorly to the moisture in a bathroom setting. The possibility of aging plumbing separating, leaking, or dripping also enters into the equation.
