Do not diagnose from smell alone
A musty odor can be a clue, but it does not confirm the presence, type or extent of mold.
Mold concerns
PUR-HOME is not a mold inspection, testing or remediation company. That boundary matters. If there is visible growth, significant water damage or a need for formal mold assessment or remediation, the right licensed specialist should handle that work.
Worried about mold? Start with moisture and the right kind of help.

What to know
EPA guidance is direct: the key to mold control is moisture control. A whole-home environmental system can help homeowners pay attention to humidity, leaks and air conditions, but it does not replace correcting water intrusion or properly remediating active mold.
A musty odor can be a clue, but it does not confirm the presence, type or extent of mold.
Leaks, wet materials and condensation should be corrected promptly. Persistent moisture creates conditions where mold can grow.
After appropriate repairs or specialized work, monitoring, humidity management, air treatment and leak awareness can support more proactive home care.
