Home Safe Mold Inspectors

You can't always see if you or your loved ones are breathing unsafe air from mold and water damage.

You can only see the childhood stolen from your child.

Or the job you lost because you can no longer work.

Or the devastation that's wrecked your family.

If only someone had asked "How's your air?"

Your donation to Change the Air Foundation does far more than ask that question.
✅It creates awareness.
✅It fuels research.
✅It moves lawmakers to take action.
✅It brings clarity, protection, and hope to people who truly need it.

And right now? Your gift goes twice as far.

Safe Air Pros is matching every dollar — up to $5,000 — through June 16:
➡️ $25 becomes $50

Your generosity could give a family answers. A diagnosis. A path to healing.

Together, we can change the air.

Episode #89: Ask Change the Air - What does a mold inspection report look like? Podcast Episode · Your Indoor Air Podcast · May 12 · 10m

PLEASE don’t let vines grow on your home like this!

I know some people like the look, but it is so bad for your home. Behind that “romantic look”, vines can quietly wreak havoc on your home’s structure.

Climbing plants like ivy or wisteria attach themselves to walls with rootlets or tendrils that dig into siding, brick mortar, stucco, and wood. Over time, this can cause:

🔹 Cracked or crumbling masonry – Vines can widen existing cracks and create new ones.
🔹 Rotting wood – Moisture gets trapped against wood siding and trim, promoting decay.
🔹 Peeling paint and damaged finishes – Vines draw water and trap humidity, which can cause paint to bubble, peel, or flake prematurely.
🔹 Roof and gutter problems – If vines reach your roofline, they can lift shingles, clog gutters, and allow water to seep into your attic or walls.
🔹 Mold growth – Constant shade and moisture retention create the perfect breeding ground for mold, especially near windows, doors, and foundation walls.

Vines may look like pretty, but they come with a huge hidden price. If your home is wearing a green coat of vines, it is time to think about clearing it off and giving your exterior a little breathing room. It might also be time to get a detailed mold inspection.
