Byron Center is in Byron Township, south of Wyoming in southern Kent County. It has grown quickly, with many newer subdivisions alongside the older homes near the village center and surrounding farmland.
In the newer neighborhoods, the most common mold calls are finished basements, especially after a sump pump failure or a slow leak from plumbing, and attics where bath fans were never properly vented outside. Older farmhouses bring their own issues: stone or block foundations, crawl spaces and old roofs.
Call (616) 226-9528If you're buying an older home out here, ask the inspector to look closely at the basement or crawl space and the attic. That's where mold hides.
Common questions
Do you cover all of Byron Township?
Yes, including Byron Center and the area around it.
The previous owner painted over mold. What should I do?
Paint doesn't kill mold or fix the moisture, and it often bleeds back through. Have it inspected so you know how far it goes.
Can mold testing be done for a real estate deal?
Yes. An inspection with samples can be done before closing, and a clearance test after any remediation.
