Mold is a type of fungus that can grow both indoors and outdoors. It thrives in damp, humid environments and spreads by releasing tiny spores into the air. Mold can cause a variety of health problems, including respiratory issues, allergies, and skin irritation. Additionally, it can damage your property by weakening the structure and causing unsightly stains and odors.

Exposure to mold can lead to numerous health problems, especially for individuals with respiratory conditions or weakened immune systems. Common health effects include coughing, sneezing, nasal congestion, skin rashes, and eye irritation. In more severe cases, mold exposure can cause asthma attacks, chronic lung illnesses, and other serious respiratory issues.

Mold spreads through the release of tiny spores that travel through the air. These spores can settle on any surface and grow into new mold colonies if moisture is present. Common sources of moisture include leaks, high humidity, and condensation. Mold can spread quickly, especially in areas with poor ventilation.

Our inspection process involves a thorough examination of your property using advanced tools and techniques. We check for visible signs of mold, use moisture meters and thermal imaging to detect hidden mold, and take air and surface samples for lab testing if necessary. The goal is to identify all mold issues and provide a detailed report with recommendations for remediation.

We prioritize the safety of all occupants during the inspection. Our team uses protective equipment and follows strict safety protocols to minimize exposure to mold. We also isolate affected areas to prevent the spread of mold spores to other parts of the property.

We inspect all areas of your property where mold is likely to grow, including bathrooms, kitchens, and HVAC systems. We also check hidden areas such as behind walls, under floors, and inside ductwork to ensure that no mold is missed.

Yes, we use advanced tools like thermal imaging cameras and moisture meters to detect hidden mold that may not be visible to the naked eye. This allows us to identify mold growing behind walls, under floors, and in other concealed areas.

We determine if mold is active or dormant by examining the moisture levels in the affected area and the characteristics of the mold. Active mold typically requires moisture to grow, so we use moisture meters to check for dampness. Additionally, lab tests can help identify the activity level of the mold spores.

While we can identify many common types of mold during the inspection, we may take samples for lab testing to accurately determine the specific type of mold present. This information helps us understand the potential health risks and the best approach for remediation.

To limit further mold exposure, you should reduce moisture levels in your home by fixing leaks, using dehumidifiers, and ensuring proper ventilation. Avoid disturbing any visible mold to prevent the release of spores. Contact a professional mold inspector to assess and address the issue as soon as possible.

Yes, the results of a mold inspection can impact your property insurance and its value.
