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 😃
Are you worried you may have mold and mildew in your Lake Zurich IL home, workplace, or other location? If you are worried about the presence of mold and mildew, or if a home inspector or other professional has notified you about mold and mildew, you might want to arrange for a mold inspection with Healthy Home Mold Inspection Lake Zurich IL. Below is a short description of exactly what we do during a regular assessment:
The initial step in figuring out a possible mold and mildew problem is the visual examination. Throughout this stage, we will be searching for 3 factors: evidence of water leakage or invasion, visual indications of of mold and mildew development, as well as areas with a potential for mold development in the future. An assessment will encompass the interior living area, attic area, basement along with the crawl space or storage area. The exterior of the home will be inspected for indications of water damage or or structural problems that might result in moisture seepage into the home.
Surface testing is performed to recognize mold and mildew varieties on a surface area.
For this sampling approach a clear tape or swab sample will collect mold-like material. Product accumulated on the tape or swab can then be evaluated with a fungi screen or culture by an independent laboratory.
Air sampling is the most reliable approaches for finding out whether mold is present in a particular place. Our procedure uses an air sampling cassette. Air quality is examined by using a vacuum machine that draws air across a glass slide. The sample is then sent to an independent laboratory where the spores are organized by type and counted. An outside control sample is needed to develop a common mold count in your area 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 go over with you and provide you a copy. The information we provide to you from the mold testing will consist of details like the kind of mold, how much mold and mildew is present, description of the mold and mildew features and problems, comparison of mold and mildew quantities discovered compared with “routine” amounts of mold located in your area, and so on. We do much more than notify you “you have mold and mildew.” We will provide a guide identifying the reasons for the mold and ways to remove it through mold remediation and mold removal methods.
You will be the one to decide what to about the mold issue when we make you aware of the outcome of the testing. We will also provide you a written recommendation of steps you can take yourself to eliminate the mold, or suggest a mold remediation protocol if you decide to hire a mold removal company. We can also perform post mold removal testing to see to it your home has been properly cleaned by a Lake Zurich mold removal company.
