We spend 90 percent of our time indoors. For this reason, homeowners and property owners need to ensure that the quality of indoor air is superb. One way of doing this is performing mold inspection. Mold is present throughout the year, but it spreads and multiplies fat in spring and summer.

How is mold detection done?

Mold is a type of fungi that feeds on moisture and organic matter. It grows in dark, hidden areas of your home or business premises, where nobody frequents. These places include the attic, basement, and garage. Outdoors, it could be anywhere, especially on a pile of dead leaves, grass, decaying wood, and even the soil.

There are many types of mold, but only a few are known to trigger allergic reactions. These are Aspergillus, Penicillium, Alternaria, and Cladosporium. When you breathe spores from these 4 mold species, the spores attach themselves to mucous membranes in the mouth, throat, and lungs, triggering an allergic reaction.

A certified mold inspector can establish if you have mold issues in your home, residential or commercial building by taking air and surface samples and then checking the spore count.

Mold spores don’t always trigger allergic reactions. An allergy skin test can help determine if you are allergic to mold.

When to have a mold inspection and testing?

Many times, mold inspection and testing go hand in hand. It is essential to test the air in your premises for mold issues, but testing the species of mold available is not always necessary.

Here are the circumstances under which you may find yourself conducting mold inspection and testing:

Recent water damage

Whether it was a leaking pipe, a leaky roof, flood, or standing water, you need to repair leaks as soon as they happen and call a professional to help with the immediate removal of black mold. This is because mold loves moisture, and any recent moisture issues are bound to have attracted mold from the environment to the living space.

Mold spores will attach themselves to the walls, soil, windows, ceiling, upholstery, and appliances. They will start growing slowly, and if nobody disturbs the mold, it continues growing and releasing more spores into the environment. Before you know it, it is a big problem. After a flood or recent waterproofing work, schedule an inspection to see if mold is growing around.

Everyone at home is getting sick.

Mold allergy often looks like asthma, dust, or pollen allergy. If everybody at home, at work, or in the factory is sneezing, wheezing, having a runny nose, watery eyes, or complaining of itch skin, eyes and nose, it is high time to consider scheduling a mold inspection.

Unoccupied building

When a building is left vacant for long, it is easy for mold to find its way in and start growing. Whether it is a building that has not been occupied for a while, or you had traveled for a while, it is essential to inspect an unoccupied building for mold before getting in. Vacant houses tend to have high humidity issues since temperatures are not controlled, which encourages mold growth.

Visible signs of mold infestation

If you spot mold marks or experience that musky smell, you need to call an expert quickly. Look out for black, white, or green marks on the wall, ceiling, window, carpet, and upholstery. However, do not attempt to do an inspection yourself, as this can cause the spores to spread and give you a bigger problem than before.

When buying or selling a property

If you are selling your home or buying a new one, it is a requirement that you do a mold inspection. Buyers need to know the mold history of a property before making a purchase decision. Similarly, you do not want to move into a graveyard, thinking it is your dream home. Therefore, schedule an appointment with an expert for a pre-purchase mold inspection.

Routine mold inspection

It is good to make mold inspection part of your building maintenance tasks. Mold lives in decomposing wood, leaves, cut grass, or soil within the environment. With time, your roof and other structures will begin to age, and any wood that was previously treated will be a haven for mold and mildew.

Outdoor mold is usually more during the spring. This mold will eventually find its way into your damp basement, garage, bathroom, or living room. It will attach itself to the windows, wall, ceiling, upholstery, carpet, or even floor. Additionally, do not forget that either you or your pet can bring it into the house with your clothes, shoes, or fur. Have regular inspections to ensure the air quality remains.

Mold Inspection and mold testing process

Mold inspection is a regular task that every homeowner, residential or commercial owner should familiarize with. Mold spores will always be present in the air, but experts will do air testing to detect mold problems during a professional mold inspection.

Our mold inspections start with a visual inspection to check for mold growth around your property. Local mold inspectors might also take samples in carefully controlled conditions in various parts of your building and then checking the spore count.

If they can already see signs of mold, they need to find out where it could be growing in secret. Do not attempt to do it yourself because you may end up contaminating the entire premise. Let experts undertake mold tests to avoid toxic mold exposure.

Mold testing cost

Mold testing is carried out in a lab. Lab testing takes about 3-4 days. Mold inspection cost depends on place to place, but it’s in the range of 300 and 1000 dollars depending on the number of samples taken. Some people buy DIY kits, but we don’t advise you to take this route with mold inspections. Leave the experts to do it. They will tell you whether mold is growing in your building and how much a mold air test cost.

Mold removal in Chastain Park

Once mold inspections and mold testing are complete, you need to address any issue promptly. Mold removal should happen within 48 hours. It is a long process that involves cleaning the air to improve indoor air quality, cleaning the house, and sometimes waterproofing the building and resolve drainage issues.

The cost of mold removal in Chastain Park entirely depends on the size and complexity of the project. Below are some of the tasks that will take place during the mold removal process.

Fixing water damage. If you had a flood, a leak, or damaged foundation and walls, the first step will involve addressing the cause of the problem. Seal the walls, encapsulate the basement, dry up any flood water and remove any damp thing that requires cleaning or drying. If the drainage is faulty, it will have to be fixed.
Cleaning. Any surface that has been contaminated by mold will have to be cleaned. This will include the basement floor, windows, ceiling, carpets, attic, and furniture. Anything that can be salvaged will be salvaged, and anything that is already damaged will be removed.
Dehumidify. Once every wet surface has been cleaned and dried, it is time to protect your premises from future damage. Placing a dehumidifier in the basement and using the right settings for the Livingroom HVAC system is needed to maintain the recommended humidity levels.

Mold thrives in homes with a moist surface, so you are likely to experience mold allergies around spring or summer. While mold spores are always present outdoors, they can find their way into the living space and cause allergic reactions.

Hidden mold in your home, office or business premises poses serious health and safety issues. To protect your family and workers from mold exposure, schedule regular inspections and start mold remediation as soon as you suspect a mold problem.
