How to Prepare for a Mold Inspection Visit in Turkey Creek
Preparation makes the visit to a Turkey Creek home quicker and more thorough. The exact list depends on the mold and the rooms involved in the Turkey Creek property, and it is confirmed with you before the visit. The general steps below apply to most homes in Turkey Creek, Evangeline Parish.
- Do not disturb mold covering a large area in the Turkey Creek home in Evangeline 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 Turkey Creek property in Evangeline 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 Turkey Creek home start in the right place.
- Move dry belongings, rugs and furniture out of the affected rooms in the Turkey Creek home in Evangeline 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 Turkey Creek home in Evangeline Parish before the visit, and do not spray cleaning products on a large area — covering it hides the extent of the growth.
- If water is still coming into the Turkey Creek home in Evangeline Parish, turn off the tap or the shut-off valve for that fixture where you can reach it safely from dry ground.
- Keep pets and children clear of the affected areas in the Turkey Creek home in Evangeline Parish while the visit is under way, and keep a clear path from the door to the rooms involved.
