Identify the problem and find the cause.
First, we pinpoint the problem areas in your building. Where is the mold growth? Crawlspace, attic, or hidden in a bathroom wall? All of these are common locations for mold growth. Throughout the mold inspection sophisticated sensory equipment is used to locate probable areas of growth.
Second, we determine the cause of the mold growth. Mold requires water to grow, therefore we look for a source of excessive moisture. Common sources include:
- Plumbing leaks
- High humidity
- Roof leaks
Third, outline our recommendations. We provide expert advice and consultation specifically tailored to your unique situation.
Next, mold testing and sampling.
FAQ's for Visual Mold Inspection
Technology is an important part of the mold inspection process. Our technicians utilize many pieces of diagnostic equipment including moisture meters, hygrometers and thermal imaging cameras. This equipment allows us to identify hidden sources of moisture and mold growth.
A typical home or small commercial building requires 1-2 hours of inspection time. Larger homes or commercial buildings may necessitate more time.
Typically it is best for us to inspect the building in 'as is' condition. Mold growth is an indication of a moisture management problem. Therefore it is beneficial for us to observe the mold problem before clean up occurs.
You will receive a Final Inspection Report, similar to a home inspection report provided when purchasing a home. This document outlines the results of the visual observations, diagnostic data, laboratory findings and recommendations.
The results of your mold inspection are kept confidential. We do not release your reports to any government agency, insurance company, rental tenant, etc.
