DO I HAVE MOLD?
Short answer - We can't give you a definite answer without sending samples to a lab.
Mold has a few distinct characteristics: A fuzzy appearance, grows in a circular, vine, thread-like pattern. It can be orange, green, brown, black, white, pink, and even purple. Often is accompanied by a musty odor. Sometimes dirt or dust can be mistaken for mold.
So, yes, we can tell you if something has similar mold characteristics, but we can't say for sure unless we take samples.
