Our thorough and professional mold inspection process ensures accurate results and helps us develop the best course of action for your specific situation.

Mold Inspection Process:

To begin the inspection, we will shut off personal humidifiers, dehumidifiers, and air purification machines for 24 hours. These devices can impact air quality and distort mold spore readings. By turning them off beforehand, we can obtain precise and reliable results.

Next, we ask you to close all doors and windows for 48 hours. Although it may seem counterintuitive, this step actually helps accumulate any existing spores within your home or business, making them easier to detect during the inspection.

Additionally, we recommend turning off HVAC systems for at least two hours. This precautionary measure prevents the circulation of air, which can spread mold spores. By doing so, we can maximize the concentration of spores, facilitating better detection and analysis.

Visual Inspection:

Our experienced mold inspector will conduct a thorough visual examination of your property, meticulously checking areas such as bathrooms, kitchens, basements, and crawl spaces. This careful inspection allows us to identify any signs of mold growth and determine the extent of the problem.

Sampling:

As part of our comprehensive mold testing process, we collect samples to determine the presence and type of mold. We employ common methods such as surface sampling, which involves swabbing or tape-lifting surfaces to collect visible mold. Additionally, we utilize air sampling techniques to measure spore concentrations and assess air quality.

Laboratory Analysis:

The samples we collect during the inspection are then carefully transported to a trusted nationally accredited laboratory for analysis. Through rigorous lab tests, we can identify the specific mold species present in your property and provide valuable information about its concentration.

Results and Recommendations:

Once the laboratory analysis is complete, our mold inspector will review the findings in detail. Based on the inspection and lab results, we will provide you with comprehensive recommendations tailored to your unique situation. If mold is detected, we will guide you through the necessary next steps, which may include remediation or further investigation. Rest assured, we can also connect you with reputable companies that specialize in mold remediation to ensure the work is carried out properly.
