Preparation makes the visit quicker and more thorough. The exact list depends on the problem and the rooms involved, and it is confirmed with you before the visit. The general steps below apply to most homes in Tribeca.
- Clear access to the rooms involved, moving furniture, rugs and belongings away from the affected areas where you can do so safely.
- 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.
- Do not disturb the growth — do not scrub, scrape or try to clean a large area yourself. Areas over about 10 square feet need a professional, and disturbing growth can spread spores through the home.

- 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.
