Because of the moist conditions of the Salinas area, housing can experience damp conditions which can breed mold growth requiring mold inspection and mold testing services.

Salinas has a mix of older and historic buildings amid brand new housing developments. Mold growth is especially prevalent where older building materials can be fed upon to sustain the mold colony. However, even newer building products can experience mold growth when mold spores, floating in the air, come in contact with dampness and a host surface. Mold located in living or working spaces can be detrimental to healthy living. There are well-documented studies and examples of people negatively affected by mold, especially the young, elderly, or those affected with allergies or autoimmune deficiencies.

Some properties have older plumbing which can cause pipe breakages or leaks, some of which are hard to discover. A musty or unpleasant odor may be the only indication of standing water or dampness and sometimes no odors even occur. Professional mold inspection may be the only way to detect water leakage behind walls, under flooring, behind cabinets, or difficult-to-navigate attic or crawlspace areas. Special tools, such as infrared thermal imaging or a digital moisture meter, may be needed to detect water damage. Access to a laboratory to get qualified laboratory reports is also helpful. Professional mold inspection and mold testing services in these areas can be invaluable to any Salinas property owner or renter.

The population of Salinas is somewhat mobile, meaning that more people rent the properties they live in than own them. Some areas of the city, particularly in the East and downtown, are riddled by poor housing and crime. Still, much of this is being addressed and improved. For both property owners and renters, especially for those owning or renting older properties, having a clean and safe place to live is vital. As a tenant in the state of California, you do have certain rights concerning water and mold testing and mold inspection for the housing in which you reside.

A highly agricultural area such as Salinas can present issues for those sensitive to airborne allergens. Indoor-Restore Environmental Services can conduct indoor allergen testing to determine what exists in the air of the home or workplace. After careful analysis, recommendations can be given to provide cleaner breathing spaces for people who have this concern. Favorable indoor air quality is such a relief to those suffering from allergies.
