What Drives Mold in Grand Rapids Homes
Most Grand Rapids homes have basements that seep in wet springs, and humid summers keep them damp. Mold grows on stored boxes, carpet and the bottom of drywall. Lake effect snow and many freeze and thaw cycles also build ice dams that push meltwater into ceilings and walls.
The Grand River runs through the middle of the city, and in April 2013 it reached a record high after heavy rain on top of spring melt. Homes near the river and its creeks carry real flood risk, and any home that took on outside water needs its walls opened and checked.
In the city, the Code Compliance department takes complaints about disrepair inside a house, and it inspects hazards as soon as it can. Its property standards require plumbing to be kept free of leaks. Hire an inspector who does not also sell mold removal, so the report has no reason to find more work than is there.
Hire an Independent Inspector
A mold inspector tells you whether you have a problem, where it is and what caused it. A remediator removes it. When the same company does both, it has a reason to find mold. If you can, hire an inspector who does not do remediation, and ask the remediator to follow that inspector’s written plan.
Ask the inspector what the visit includes. A good one looks for the moisture source first, uses a moisture meter and often a thermal camera, and only takes air or surface samples when the result will change what you do. After the work, a clearance test by the same independent inspector shows whether the job is done.
Can You Handle It Yourself

Home test kits that grow spores in a dish almost always grow something, because mold spores are everywhere. They cannot tell you whether you have a problem. A moisture meter and a flashlight will tell you more for less money.
