Mold inspection and mold testing are designed to help clients discover, document, and understand mold related issues through professional investigation, testing, and analysis methods in conjunction with proven sampling strategies (e.g., microscopic vs. culturable analysis, culturable & non-culturable air sampling, surface sampling, tape lift sampling). Such mold & toxic mold inspection, clearance testing, and analysis must be accomplished with an effective chain of custody, meeting outlined and proven transport requirements. In the end, all findings must be reported to the client in a professional manner. Only the results of building material moisture surveys, boroscopic examination (if necessary) of wall cavities, and laboratory results can accurately define a mold problem.

The following are some of the potential property conditions which warrant a professional mold inspection:
Surface Mold On Window Seal Cause: improper window seal, moisture retention inside wall cavities, temperature-humidity regulation. Consequence: moisture seeps past window frame and into wall cavity causing water damage and mold growth inside wall. Roof Leak Cause: damaged or improperly installed shingles. Consequence: water damage and mold growth spreading under shingles and eventually ending up in attic and interior construction materials.
The cost of comprehensive inspection varies by region. Testing should include air testing, swab sampling, water intrusion inspection, moisture level measurement, photographs of mold sources, internal/external mold particle comparison, infrared technology for hidden mold detection and damage assessment, and a detailed report summarizing lab results as well as recommended curative steps.

Purpose:
Mold often grows behind walls and inside ceiling and floor cavities long before it is ever detected. By the time you start smelling an unpleasant odor, rest assured mold has been growing somewhere for some time and every day is growing more. If you suspect you have mold growing indoors, the time to act is sooner rather than later.
