Mold Testing
What can a Mold test do for you? Mold testing informs you of potentially hazardous mold spores in the air and/or on surfaces and advises solutions to remediate the concern.
A mold inspection with Curtis Home Inspections aims to uncover the presence of mold in a certain area of a property. During the inspection, our certified inspectors will carefully take air sample and/or surface samples and often examine the premises, looking for both visible signs of mold growth and hidden areas where mold could be growing.
The Home Inspector will assess moisture levels in various areas as excessive moisture is often conducive to mold growth. They may use specialized tools like thermal imaging cameras or moisture meters to identify any dampness issues. Additionally, they will inspect ventilation systems, plumbing leaks, and other potential sources of water intrusion that can contribute to mold development.
If visible signs of mold are found, such as discoloration or musty odors, samples may be collected for laboratory analysis to determine the type and extent of the mold present. This helps establish if it poses any health risks or if further remediation actions are necessary.
Overall, a thorough mold inspection aims to identify current or potential areas of concern related to molds' presence while providing valuable information for making informed decisions about addressing these issues effectively. Schedule your mold inspection with Curtis Home Inspections today!
