Could a Mold Inspection Save Your Life?

Mold can be extremely visually unappealing. However, there may be more mold than you realize. A thorough mold inspection provided by an certified mold inspector will provide you with the details you need. An analysis of the mold count in the air, as well as the type of molds present should be provided.

The first important step in during a mold inspection is a visual inspection. An inspector needs to look at and assess the extent of water damage, mold infestation, and cleanliness of the ventilation system. Inspectors also use devices, such as moisture meters, to detect hidden mold behind walls, ceilings and floors.

 

If these visual tests show that the ventilation system may be contaminated, a mold inspector will probably perform air monitoring. The mold inspection will include the collection of air samples and incubating them in a Petri dish for a period of time.

The mold inspector will also collect samples of the air outdoors, to try and determine the source of the fungal infestation. If the outdoor mold count is greater, this is a possible source for your mold problem. Air monitoring will also help uncover other areas of hidden infestation.

Mold inspectors will sample the surface of the area, to detect the kind and extent of mold. Bulk samples are scraped off from noticeably moldy surfaces. Inspectors will also take samples from non-visible areas with a swab or clear tape. These samples are then put in a Petri dish to see how they develop. Results for this may take up to a week.
