Talk to someone now about the mold in your basement
Describe where you see it or smell it and what got wet. The call goes to an independent local provider who handles mold removal and remediation in your part of Utah County.
- Say where the growth is: a basement wall, a bathroom ceiling, a closet, or the furnace room.
- Mention any water event, even one from last spring: a window well, a seep line, a sump that quit, or a pipe that froze.
- Tell them whether the basement is finished, and whether carpet or pad is on the slab.
- Say if the smell changes when the furnace or the swamp cooler runs.
- Mention anyone in the home with asthma or allergies.
- Have the property address and a callback number ready.
- Hold off on tearing out drywall or spraying bleach until you have talked with the provider.
