At M3 Environmental LLC, we are here to help you with some of the most unlikely spots you might think to check for mold in your Monterey home. Just like you, we want your indoor air free of harmful spores and offensive odors.
The Importance Of A Mold Inspection
Mold can be found in almost every home. It can be the cause of a lot of funky smells, property damage, and the reason people in your house don’t feel well. If someone in your home has asthma or allergies, proper inspection is vital, especially after a heavy rainstorm, flood, or leak.
How To Avoid Mold Exposure
Fungi can grow on many types of surfaces. You might be surprised to find hidden areas of mold growth in your home. How do you find growth inside the walls instead of on the wall? We can help with that. First, though, why not look in some easier to maneuver areas?
Places that are typically overlooked but may foster mold growth include:
- Washing Machines
- Hot Water Heaters
- Air Conditioners
- Under Carpets
- Inside The Chimney
- Refrigerator Drip Pans
- Ceiling Fans
- Bath Toys
On The Hunt For Health
Because fungi, like black mold, need a dark, wet environment to grow, one rule of thumb is to check in and around every appliance that uses water. If your dishwasher has started to smell or your washer seals never seem to dry, they may be harboring mold spores.
Something’s In The Chimney. Clue: It’s Not Santa.
Your chimney can collect water and organic material that clings to the crevices of the bricks lining it. This collection of water and debris creates the perfect food source and damp environment for mold spores to grow and spread.

When ignored, this fungus can be so destructive that building materials need to be removed and replaced. But first it needs to be found, and that’s what we do.
