How to Prepare for a Mold Inspection Visit in Church Point
Preparation makes the visit to a Church Point home quicker and more thorough. The exact list depends on the mold and the rooms involved in the Church Point property, and it is confirmed with you before the visit. The general steps below apply to most homes in Church Point, Acadia Parish.
- Do not disturb mold covering a large area in the Church Point home in Acadia Parish, and do not try to clean it yourself — EPA guidance uses about 10 square feet as the line for when professional help is needed, and this site gives no removal instructions for large areas.
- Note which rooms in the Church Point property in Acadia Parish show mold, when you first noticed it, and whether there was a leak or flooding before it appeared. A short note of rooms and times helps the visit to the Church Point home start in the right place.
- Move dry belongings, rugs and furniture out of the affected rooms in the Church Point home in Acadia Parish where you can do so safely, so the affected areas are clear for the visit.
- Do not paint over mold or cover it up in a Church Point home in Acadia Parish before the visit, and do not spray cleaning products on a large area — covering it hides the extent of the growth.

- Keep pets and children clear of the affected areas in the Church Point home in Acadia Parish while the visit is under way, and keep a clear path from the door to the rooms involved.
