Understanding the Mold Inspection Process
Our mold inspection process uncovers even the smallest traces of mold growth. We can identify mold spores, mycotoxins, and Stachybotrys (black mold) traces on surfaces, structures, and hidden areas of the home. We check the following areas for water damage and mold growth:
- Under sinks.
- Inside cabinets.
- Underneath and behind pipes and plumbing fixtures and appliances.
- In attics and crawl spaces.
- Inside, under, and behind washing machines and dishwashers.
- In bathroom grout, caulking, walls, flooring, baseboards, and plumbing fixtures.
- Around your home’s foundation.
We may use any of these methods for mold assessments:
- Air/dust testing
- Environmental Relative Moldiness Index (ERMI)
- Direct surface analyzation
- Microbial Volatile Organic Compound (MVOC) testing
- Mycotoxins testing
If we detect any level of mold or mold spores in your home, we will create a mold remediation plan. We provide reports and documentation of our findings for you to use for a homeowners insurance claim, or in your search for another mold remediation specialist should you choose not to use us.
Third-Party Mold Clearance Sampling & Testing
We offer third-party testing that may include air sampling. We send samples to an outside lab for analysis.
