Mold Inspection
Our inspection process starts with a meeting with our client to go over all the information about suspected areas of mold in the home. After this meeting, our inspector will focus on the suspected areas and also look into all the attics, basements, and crawl spaces in the home. We focus on these three areas because they are not only the most important when it comes to maintaining proper indoor air quality but they are often the most overlooked. All three of these spaces in the home are vulnerable to humidity and excess moisture, which causes the growth of mold. After our inspector checks all the suspected areas of the home, they will then put together an estimate with our recommendations to remediate and prevent mold. Our mold inspection process takes around one hour depending on how many suspected areas are in the home.
Mold Testing
Air Sample Testing
Our air sample testing is our first option for mold testing. Our air testing kit takes in air at a certain rate per minute while trapping mold spores into a cassette. This process takes between 4-8 minutes per sample. Our air testing option will always include an outdoor "control" sample that will be used on the testing report, so we can compare the mold spore count inside your house with the "control" sample that was taken outside of your house. This testing option is recommended when there aren't signs of visible mold during the inspection, and there are concerns that mold could be hidden in the home.
Surface Sample Testing
Our surface sample testing is our second option for mold testing. Surface sample testing is the most accurate form of testing when there are visible signs of mold. This form of testing consists of taking a surface sample using a piece of tape on suspected building materials in the home.
Testing Results
After the testing, we will send the samples to an Independent 3rd Party Lab, which will analyze the tests and determine the results. After the results are determined, the lab will send us a mold report that we will email to our clients with the results of the samples we were taken. In that same email, we will send a summary of the findings to our clients and give our recommendations for remediation and prevention. This process takes 3-5 days from the time our lab receives the results. We do offer options for expedited results for additional charges.
