Mold Inspection

A mold inspection is an assessment to identify potential mold problems that might not be easy to see. Here’s what you can expect:

• Visual inspection: This is a thorough examination of your property, looking for visible signs of mold growth on walls, ceilings, floors, and furniture. Moisture issues like water damage or condensation that could promote mold growth will also be identified.
• Air sampling: In some cases, air sampling is used to assess the types and concentrations of mold spores. This can help determine if there is hidden mold growth or elevated mold spore levels that could pose health risks.
• Moisture meter testing: Moisture meters may be used to identify areas with excessive moisture, an essential driver of mold growth.
• Report and recommendations: Following the inspection, you’ll receive a detailed report outlining findings, including any mold discovered, the location of moisture problems, and recommendations for remediation if necessary. This report may also include suggestions for preventing future mold growth.

Mold Testing

Mold testing involves using high-tech monitors and testing equipment to test your air for contamination, test the mold itself to determine the species, and discover hidden mold behind surfaces like walls or ceilings.

Mold Removal

Removal begins once the presence of mold is confirmed and its hiding places are uncovered. The removal process includes:

• Establishing a containment zone to prevent spores from traveling to new parts of your property
• Using cleaning techniques to remove mold from non-porous surfaces
• Removing contaminated porous materials like drywall and carpeting

Mold Prevention

Once your initial mold problem is solved, it’s important to prevent mold from putting your property at risk in the future. Here are some preventative measures that stop mold from coming back:

Have Moisture Sources Repaired

Address any leaks in pipes, faucets, or appliances promptly. Improve ventilation in windows and walls to tackle condensation issues. Consider using exhaust fans in bathrooms and kitchens to remove moisture created during showers and cooking.

Maintain Proper Ventilation

Ensure adequate airflow throughout your building. Open windows regularly, especially in bathrooms and kitchens, after use. To control humidity levels, consider using dehumidifiers in basements, crawlspaces, or other moisture-prone areas.

Clean Up Spills and Damp Areas Quickly

Don’t let water sit for extended periods. Clean up spills promptly and dry wet areas thoroughly within 24 to 48 hours to prevent mold spores from taking root.

Monitor High-Risk Areas

Closely monitor areas prone to moisture buildup, including bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, and basements. Inspect these areas regularly for signs of mold growth, like discoloration, musty odors, or visible mold patches.

Consider Mold-Resistant Materials

When replacing mold-damaged drywall, flooring, or insulation, opt for mold-resistant materials where appropriate. These materials can help inhibit future mold growth.
