If you have had some type of disturbance in your home in the past like some Water damage from a leaky roof, a copper water line spraying water in the ceiling or walls with a pinhole leak, maybe rain water coming into your house on a wet stormy night.
Many people have had these problems and had a plumber or handyman fix the pipe or maybe you cleaned it up yourself thinking that you resolved the issue.
What happens when you don’t repair these problems properly and what people don’t realize is that a wet wall or ceiling can cause some type of fungus, maybe your cabinets were also affected and you did not notice.
Improper drying creates mold and mildew especially under kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanities, sometimes your toilet can overflow, here again, your walls can get wet. Your drywall or plaster walls absorb moisture and sends humidity inside the cavity of the wall or ceiling, mold can start growing.
On the average, it takes about 72 hours for bacteria to start growing, this is how toxic mold starts when improper drying is not initiated, now you have a mold problem.

We can check if you had understructure flooding that may still be wet and creating bad smells, fungus, or mildew growth.
In many cases you may have had a sewage spill that never was addressed. When left over time, unfortunately this can come back at you and start to reactivate bacteria when water or heavy humidity touches it, and sometimes very hot dry days can send odors into the air.
When a light breeze pushes through your outside vents, and the smell rises into your interior air, then your wondering where the smells are coming from.
These are some needed possibilities in an inspection to give you your answers.

TFM MOLD AND WATER DAMAGE has been in business for over 40 years helping people with their mold and water damage problems.
TFM is a family owned business providing quality workmanship and fair pricing and has helped hundreds of clients with their mold and water damage environmental issues, and happy to say we’re here to help with continued efforts and reliable understanding of many bacteria’s that have entered our lives.
Many black water floods carry other bad bacteria’s that can cause some types of hepatitis, food poisoning type symptoms, headaches and dizziness. Any type of materials touched with sewage bacteria are recommended to be thrown away, they cannot be salvaged once sewage has touched them, these items are no longer considered safe.
Sentiment is always a problem for example, old pictures, clothing or your child or grand daughters, stuffed animals that he or she loves so much, if they were to put the stuffed animal in their mouths, which many children do they may end up sick and you will regret your sentiment, so try not to take it so lightly for the sake of your loved ones and for your own health and safety.
Everything sewage touches must be discarded. In some hard surface cases. the material can be sanded and sealed for such things like ceramic tile, flooring, and concrete floors to name a few.
The sealant is very important because without it the bacteria can still affect you, whereas the sealant will block the bacteria locked underneath it.
kitchen cabinets and bath cabinets are not salvable, they are very porous especially at floor level, since sewage water sits on the floor and the lower cabinets suck it up like a sponge.
Keep that in mind when your considering trying to save them.
Remember this is your health and the health of others your protecting in this crisis.
