Local knowledge
Mold Inspection for Newton Center, MA homes
Mold Inspection in Newton Center tends to start the same way mold does across Middlesex County: roof and plumbing leaks in Newton Center homes that feed hidden mold for months before anyone notices. When that moisture sits for even a day or two, mold takes hold, and that is when homeowners from Newton, Newton Highlands, Thompsonville and the rest of Newton Center call us.
We handle mold inspection for Newton Center the right way. We find and fix the moisture source first, because mold always returns if the water problem is left behind, then we contain the area and remove the mold safely.
Our team is based in Auburndale, about 5 minutes from our Auburndale base, so we can usually reach a Newton Center home the same day. Our methods follow public guidance from the EPA and the CDC on handling indoor mold safely.
