- Note when the growth was first found, how large the area looks, and whether there has been a leak, a flood or water damage in that room.

- Take photographs of the growth and a note of what happened, from outside the affected area, if you can do so safely.
- Keep pets and children clear of the affected areas while the visit is under way, and keep a clear path from the door to the rooms involved.
