What should I do if I smell mold but cannot see any?
A professional inspection is recommended. Technicians use tools like borescopes to locate hidden growth accurately, minimizing unnecessary damage.
Can mold cause a musty smell without being visible?
Yes. Mold growing inside enclosed spaces releases odors long before it becomes visible on room surfaces.

How can I tell if old water damage led to hidden mold?
