 2. Locate and fix all sources of mold-causing water intrusion such as recurring flooding, plumbing leaks, leaky roofs or siding, blocked air-conditioning condensation drain lines, and high indoor humidity [e.g., above 50 to 60%].
 3. Inspect and mold test inside, above, and below each water-penetrated ceiling, wall, and floor with a fiber optics inspection device, a do-it-yourself mold test kits [available at large home improvement and hardware stores] or a mold inspection by a Certified Mold Inspector [CMI], and by cutting small core dry wall samples. Remove and look in the middle and back of each core for visible mold growth. You can also cut off thin veneer moldy slices from each core sampling, and then insert each veneer slice into a do it yourself mold test kit to watch for mold growth over a 7 day time period. More valuable to you in mold insights, would be to put each sample into a separate ziplock bag properly labeled with property address, precise testing location at that address, date of testing, name of tester [you probably], and your full contact info, and
then to mail your collected samples to the mold lab you desire to use. For low-cost mold testing, use inexpensive Scotch Tape to do lift tape mold sampling and/or do bulk physical sampling [collect physical pieces of moldy building materials or other items], and then send the tape samples or bulk samples to a mold lab of your choice for mold species identification.
