Our mold assessment is comprehensive, leaving no stone unturned, so to speak. By conducting in-depth examinations of all potential hiding places for mold inside and outside the home, we can find not just the mold but the reason for the mold. We establish the root causes, like leaks or ventilation issues, even inspecting within walls where mold may be hiding.
Additionally, we excel in clear documentation, compiling all our findings in an easy-to-understand report. This report includes lab results, problem areas, likely causes, and recommended remedies or maintenance actions.
How Our Mold Testing Starts
Mold attacks are not just an aesthetic issue, impacting health and jeopardizing structural integrity. Our inspectors begin by assessing your property’s exterior, looking for conditions that are conducive to mold growth. This includes standing water, overflowing gutters, grading problems, proximity to vegetation, or downspouts that are improperly draining. Our team also assesses the roof for leaks and exterior walls for water damage.
On moving inside, our inspectors carefully analyze your property’s interior elements. We inspect the plumbing systems for leaks and the HVAC system, including ductwork, for mold exposure. We leave no area untouched, evaluating signs of mold damage on windows, doors, ceilings, walls, and floors.
Basements and crawl spaces are highly susceptible to moisture and mold damage due to high humidity levels. Similarly, attics can harbor mold due to improper ventilation. Our thorough inspection includes a detailed evaluation of these areas, identifying potential sources of mold and assessing conditions for water intrusion, flooding, and the condition of foundation walls and floors.
Materials like drywall and wood can foster mold growth more readily when damp. Our inspectors check for building materials that may encourage mold growth. Additionally, we examine walls, ceilings, and floors for water stains and scrutinize insulation and other building features prone to mold infestation.
A Comprehensive Assessment
Moisture is a significant contributor to mold growth. Our team utilizes specialized tools like moisture probes to assess high moisture levels or humidity in your property. We meticulously check for condensation on windows and other surfaces, aiming to locate all possible breeding grounds for mold growth.
Additionally, adequate ventilation is key to preventing mold damage. Our inspectors evaluate your property for sufficient ventilation, particularly in areas like bathrooms and kitchens that are more vulnerable to moisture damage.
Finally, we compile all the findings along with corrective recommendations in an all-encompassing mold inspection report. This report lays out, in clear terms the extent of any issues as well as the way forward in preventing mold growth in the long term.
