Late last year a Pittsburgh homeowner who experienced some minor flooding after a particularly rainy week noticed an increasing moldy smell around the garage-area entry way of his house. Attributing the odor to the excess moisture from the rain, the slower evaporation from the cooler Autumn weather and the age of the home, he didn't suspect any issue that would require the services of a Pittsburgh plumber. When the mold smell not only persisted but increased, he began to suspect something was awry.
"It was like an invisible monster, growing larger every day. I began to get headaches and developed a sinus infection." He mentioned the encroaching problem to a friend, who recommended he contact the Pittsburgh plumbing company he used, Stahl Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning. Their first suggestion was to check the basement.
"I went down into the basement and immediately knew they were onto something. Sure enough, there was an audible hiss, and a strong, steamy odor of mold. It was the hot water heater. It had sprung a leak and was literally spraying steam all across the floorboards of my house, creating a fertile environment for mold and mildew."
He had Pittsburgh plumber Stahl Plumbing come and replace the hot water heater immediately. "It was late at night but they came out anyway. I consider mold spreading through the basement somewhat of an emergency, yes!" By the next morning, he says, there was already a noticeable improvement in the air quality.
