When I noticed a musty smell in the living room, I knew it was time for a carpet mold inspection. Lifting the edge of the rug revealed dark patches and a damp pad underneath—a clear sign of moisture. The inspector used a moisture meter and took samples for lab testing, explaining that mold can trigger allergies and damage flooring. He recommended improved ventilation and a deep clean, but also warned that replacing the carpet might be necessary if the mold had spread too far.
