New Mexico's arid climate doesn't mean mold-free. Albuquerque experiences dry heat, but seasonal rains and indoor moisture from cooling systems can create problems. We provide expert mold inspection and testing to identify and address hidden mold growth.
New Mexico's climate is unique. While generally dry, Albuquerque and the surrounding areas can experience flash floods and monsoon rains. These events can introduce moisture into homes.
