Coto de Caza – Mold Inspection

Project Overview

When a family in Coto de Caza noticed musty odors in their upstairs bedroom, they feared a hidden problem beneath their carpet. They reached out to Guaranteed Property and Mold Inspection (GPMI) to uncover the source. With over two decades of certified expertise, GPMI quickly conducted a thorough investigation—revealing mold growth hidden below the carpet and along the tack strips.

Client’s Concern

The homeowner reported worsening odors near the baseboards and suspected possible water damage from a past spill or leak. Despite routine cleaning, the smell persisted, raising concerns about indoor air quality and the health of their children. They needed certified mold inspectors to confirm the problem and provide a detailed assessment.

Our Inspection Process

Our certified inspector carefully lifted sections of the carpet and padding to investigate beneath the surface. Using moisture meters and close visual inspection, we identified significant mold activity along the carpet tack strips, wall edges, and baseboards.

The inspection documented:

• Black mold growth along tack strips and carpet padding.
• Moisture intrusion near the wall base, creating the ideal environment for mold.
• Evidence of hidden contamination not visible on the surface.

We provided the homeowner with a detailed inspection report, including photographs, lab-supported sampling results, and recommendations for professional remediation.

Resolution & Results

Following remediation, GPMI performed a post-remediation clearance inspection to verify that mold had been fully removed. Air quality samples confirmed safe spore levels, and the affected areas were declared clear. The homeowner was relieved to know their family’s living environment was safe, healthy, and mold-free.

Musty odors, hidden water damage, or unexplained stains can be signs of mold lurking out of sight. Don’t let it go unchecked—protect your family’s health with a certified inspection.
