Mold inspection & testing in San Clemente

Clay tile roofs here are low pitched, and a low pitched tile system depends entirely on the concealed components underneath doing their job. If one of those components fails, more often than not the whole system fails with it. Stucco is not a waterproofing membrane either. Before restuccoing and painting, the waterproofing barrier behind it has to be sound, because once moisture reaches a compromised barrier it gets concealed inside the wall cavity, and that is exactly the environment where mold amplifies.
