Are you concerned you may have mold and mildew in your residence, workplace, or other location? If you are worried about the presence of mold and mildew, or if a home inspector or other specialist has informed you about mold and mildew, you may want to arrange an assessment with Healthy Home Mold Inspectors. Below is a quick overview of what we do during a typical evaluation:
The initial step in determining a possible mold and mildew problem is the visual evaluation. Throughout this phase, we be looking for three factors: proof of water leakage or intrusion, visual indications of of mold and mildew development, in addition to areas with a potential for mold growth in the future. An evaluation will encompass the interior living area, attic, basement in addition to the crawl space or storage area. The outside of the home will also be inspected for indicators of water damage or or structural problems that could result in moisture seepage into the dwelling.
Direct sampling is employed to distinguish mold and mildew types on an area.
This method is useful in determining if you have mold and mildew in locations where there is staining or other signs of mold-like conditions. If you have mold and mildew in areas where there is discoloration or other possible mold-like conditions, this strategy is beneficial in identifying if the substance is mold. For this sampling method a clear tape or swab sample will collect mold-like product. Product accumulated on the tape or swab can then be evaluated with a fungi screen or culture by an independent lab.
Air sampling is one of the most efficient methods for finding out if mold exists in a specific area. Our procedure uses an air sampling cassette. Air quality is analyzed using a vacuum machine that draws air across a microscope slide. The sample is then sent out to an independent laboratory where the spores are grouped by variety and counted. An outside control sample is taken to determine a typical mold count in your location on the day the mold tests are taken.
The independent laboratory will send us the report of your mold screening samples, which we will then discuss with you and supply you a copy. The information we provide to you from the mold test will contain information like the type of mold, how much mold and mildew is present, description of the mold and mildew qualities and problems, comparison of mold and mildew amounts discovered compared with "regular" quantities of mold found in your geographic area, and so on. We do a lot more than notify you "you have mold and mildew." We will include a report identifying the reasons for the mold and how to get rid of it through mold removal and mold removal techniques.
You will be the one to decide exactly what to about the mold issue when we make you aware of the outcome of the testing. We will also provide you a written suggestion of steps you can take yourself to get rid of the mold, or suggest a mold removal protocol if you choose to hire a mold removal service. We can also carry out post mold removal screening to make sure your home has been correctly cleaned by the mold remediation service.
