Local knowledge
Mold Inspection for Napoleon, MO homes
Mold Inspection in Napoleon tends to start the same way mold does across Lafayette County: air conditioning condensation feeding mold on cool basement and closet walls. When that moisture sits for even a day or two, mold takes hold, and that is when homeowners from Wellington, Fleming, Camden and the rest of Napoleon call us.
We handle mold inspection for Napoleon 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 Buckner, about 10 minutes from our Buckner base, so we can usually reach a Napoleon home the same day. Our methods follow public guidance from the EPA and the CDC on handling indoor mold safely.
