Signs You Need a Mold Inspection
1. Musty Odor
A persistent musty smell is one of the first signs of hidden mold growth.
2. Visible Mold Growth
If you see mold on walls, ceilings, or other surfaces, there’s a good chance it’s spread to other hidden areas.
3. Water Damage
Any history of water leaks, flooding, or excessive humidity can lead to mold growth behind walls, under floors, or in HVAC systems.
4. Health Symptoms
If you or your family are experiencing allergies, coughing, sneezing, or respiratory problems, mold may be the cause.
5. High Humidity
Homes or businesses with poor ventilation and high humidity levels are at greater risk for mold growth.
Our Mold Inspection & Testing Process
Visual Inspection
We begin with a thorough visual inspection of your property to identify any signs of mold or moisture problems.
- Exterior and Interior Examination: We check both the interior and exterior of your property for signs of water damage, mold growth, and potential areas of moisture intrusion.
- HVAC and Attic Inspection: We also inspect HVAC systems, attics, basements, and crawl spaces, which are common breeding grounds for mold.
Moisture Detection
Mold thrives in damp environments, so we use moisture detection tools to identify areas where mold may be growing but is not visible.
- Infrared Cameras: Thermal imaging helps us detect moisture behind walls and under floors that could be promoting hidden mold growth.
- Moisture Meters: We measure moisture levels in building materials to locate damp areas where mold may develop.
Air and Surface Testing
To accurately measure the extent of mold contamination, we perform air quality testing and surface sampling.
- Air Sampling: We take samples of the air to test for mold spores, which may indicate hidden mold growth not visible during a visual inspection.
- Surface Testing: We swab surfaces in suspected areas to confirm the presence and type of mold, giving us a clearer understanding of the contamination level.
Laboratory Analysis
Once samples are collected, they are sent to a certified laboratory for analysis.
- Identifying Mold Types: The lab identifies the types of mold present and the concentration of spores in the air, helping us determine the severity of the mold issue.
- Detailed Results: You’ll receive a full report that explains the results of the testing, including the type of mold found, its potential health risks, and recommended next steps.
Recommendations and Remediation Plan
Based on the inspection and testing results, we provide a clear plan of action for addressing the mold issue.
- Customized Solutions: Whether mold is detected in small amounts or large infestations, we offer tailored remediation solutions to eliminate the problem and prevent future growth.
- Preventative Advice: We also provide recommendations for moisture control, ventilation improvements, and other preventative measures to keep mold from returning.
