Steps to a Successful Mold Inspection

1. A full visual inspection of your property.

A mold inspection is MUCH more than running a few air samples. We conduct a full visual inspection of the property to identify possible mold sources and moisture issues that can contribute to future mold growth. We carry a full arsenal of inspection tools including high powered LED flashlights, moisture meters, infrared cameras and hygrometers to measure humidity throughout your home.

2. We take air quality samples on EVERY floor of your home.

One interior air sample is never enough to adequately analyze all possible mold growth areas of your home. Furthermore, if we find an area of concern, the additional samples let us know if the contamination is localized or widespread throughout your home. We don’t guess, we measure.

3. We use accurate sampling techniques.

Taking air samples the right way is critical to obtaining trustworthy results. Proper preparation can result in a TEN TIMES higher spore count. Unless your inspector understands this, your mold counts may give you a false sense of security when you actually have elevated mold conditions.

4. The right mold testing lab makes a difference

Some of the ‘top’ labs in the country report inaccurate spore counts. There are categories of mold that almost always show a spore count, and these labs will mark a zero for every sample in a home. If you send us a report from one of these labs, we have to retake all of the samples to give you accurate advice.

5. Rush processing at no extra charge

Many of our clients struggle with health concerns or are involved in a time-sensitive real estate transaction. Don’t wait 7-10 days for results. And don’t pay an expedited fee PER sample to get your report sooner. Most of our reports are complete within 48 hours.

6. Action Plan

We will give you a detailed written report to fix the moisture problems that allow mold to grow, and a plan to reset any elevated conditions to normal. This valuable information will give you the power to prevent future mold growth and keep your home healthy. If you need help, just contact us.

7. Lifetime follow up included

You, your doctor, or veterinarian can contact us any time in the future to discuss your case for no additional fee. Call us about anything, any time. We like talking about mold all day long 😃
