FWIW, I recommend contacting a local mold remediation company, they often provide free assessments, and can guide you on the next steps if mold is found.

Jumping on this thread because I had a similar issue not too long ago, I found a local environmental services firm that specializes in mold inspection, they were thorough and professional, provided me with a detailed report, and helped me identify areas in my home that were at risk of mold growth, it really gave me peace of mind.

I learned this the hard way, when I ignored a small mold spot thinking it was just a damp patch, after it spread, I finally called a mold specialist who not only removed the mold but also identified ventilation issues that contributed to the problem, now I make sure to keep the air quality in check regularly, so definitely reach out to a mold remediation expert.

This is exactly right, finding a reliable mold inspector is key, I would suggest looking for companies that have certifications like the IICRC (Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification) or similar, this ensures they have the proper training to handle mold issues safely.

This brings back memories of when I dealt with a mold issue in my own home, I called a local environmental health agency, they were amazing and did a thorough inspection, located mold in the basement that I never noticed, they provided a complete report and recommendations for treatment, I'd suggest looking for similar services in your area, they often offer free consultations which can be really helpful.

Word around here is to check your local health department, they sometimes have resources or can recommend certified mold inspectors, it's always good to start there, especially if you're not sure where to look.

Exactly this, mold issues can escalate quickly if not handled promptly, I suggest you call an environmental testing service, they specialize in identifying mold types and sources, once identified, they can recommend proper remediation strategies, this could save you from serious health issues or extensive damage later on.
