How to Spot Mold
The first step in finding mold is to locate the area with the most moisture. This can be caused by a leak or even a busted pipe. Keep an eye out for water spots on walls and ceilings. Regularly check the air conditioning unit as this is a humid area. Once these areas are located, the mold shouldn’t be far.
How to Kill Mold
