Visual inspection for mold development, moisture mapping for hidden leaks, air sampling, surface sampling, and checking for mold in the air conditioning are all part of a mold inspection. Because certain inspections are limited in scope, each one may be unique.

What happens during a mold inspection?

During a standard mold inspection, the inspector will chat with the property owner about any areas where mold has been discovered, as well as any areas where moisture problems or water damage have previously occurred. The inspector will do a thorough examination of the property, looking for locations that are known to be susceptible to mold growth.

What strategies does a mold inspector employ when searching for mold?

The most frequent way of mold testing is to take a sample of the air or a surface. A mold inspector, in effect, "tests" the air or surface to discover what type of mold is present and/or whether the mold identified can proliferate in the area examined.

How can you know if you need mold remediation?

Professional mold cleanup is usually required when a mold outbreak covers more than 10 square feet of your home. If someone in your home gets sudden mold allergy symptoms like coughing or wheezing, it could be a sign of a mold infestation.

What are the procedures used by home inspectors to identify mold?

Air testing is done to detect whether there is any mold lurking about the house. Mold spores float through the air until they find an ideal growing habitat. On moist surfaces, mold spores can take hold and thrive.

Is the house equipped with a mold detector?

Using samples collected from the air or the damaged surface, mold testing technologies can detect and even identify emerging spores in your home. You can collect up to three indoor air samples for mold spore investigation with this kit.
