It is very common for homeowners to have a moldy or mildewy smell in their basement that is very hard to locate. There can be many causes of such smell and the tracking alone can make some a little queasy. Oftentimes the mold is in small recessed areas that are very difficult to locate without either very specific equipment or a highly experienced person inspecting the area. Mold is often found behind finished walls. This makes location limited to foundation exposure in basements or some wall removal in upper floors. Sometimes these problems can only be determined by having the area looked over by professionals. Basement Detective is the DC area company capable of determining the source of the condition(s) that can cause mold growth. There are only a few independent companies like this one that offer services such as finding and repairing the cause(s) for homeowners and contractors.
