So You Think You Have Mold?
Here’s What to Do Next.
If something looks off, smells musty, or you’ve had recent water damage, you might be right to be concerned — but don’t panic. This page walks you through what to look for, when to test, and how to keep your home or project safe.
What Mold Actually Is
Mold is a natural part of the environment. Indoors, it can become a problem quickly, especially in damp or poorly ventilated spaces. Certain types of mold release spores that can impact air quality and cause health symptoms, especially for people with allergies or compromised immune systems.
At White Hat Services, we focus on testing first so you know what you’re dealing with before making costly assumptions or unnecessary repairs.
Common Signs you Might Have Mold
Visible spotting or discoloration on walls, ceilings, or vents
Increased humidity or condensation in one area
Worsening allergy-like symptoms indoors
Recent plumbing leaks or water damage
Persistent musty odors
What Happens During a Mold Test?
We make the process simple and educational — no scare tactics, just facts.
Here’s what to expect:
Visual Inspection:
We’ll assess any visible concerns and identify likely problem areas.
Air and Surface Sampling:
Our team takes precise samples to detect spores that aren’t visible to the eye.
Laboratory Analysis:
Certified labs analyze your samples and confirm what types of mold are present.
Results & Next steps:
We walk you through the report, explain what the findings mean, and recommend safe, practical solutions.
When to Call a Professional
