Local knowledge
Mold Testing for Somerville, MA homes
Mold Testing in Somerville tends to start the same way mold does across Middlesex County: humid seasons that elevate indoor moisture levels for extended periods. When that moisture sits for even a day or two, mold takes hold, and that is when homeowners from Winter Hill, East Somerville, Cambridge and the rest of Somerville pick up the phone.
Mold testing for Somerville is handled the right way. The technicians find and fix the moisture source first, because mold always returns if the water problem is left behind, then the area is contained and the mold is removed safely.
Somerville is about 19 miles from South Hamilton, so a crew can usually be there the same day you call. The methods follow public guidance from the EPA and the CDC on handling indoor mold safely.

Older and newer homes alike need Mold Testing, from the newer builds near Dorchester to the oldest ones in town. A Somerville home that needs Mold Testing almost always has a moisture story behind it, and it usually starts with bathrooms. The technicians handle Mold Testing for homes from Dorchester to East Somerville and the surrounding area the same careful way.
The remediation crew has done Mold Testing across Middlesex County enough to know how heavy rain and seasonal flooding directing water toward foundations and crawl spaces moves through these homes.
