Mold Analysis

Conducting a mold analysis as part of a property or building inspection is crucial for maintaining the health and safety of the occupants, preserving the integrity and value of the property, and fulfilling legal obligations. It helps identify and address mold issues early, preventing further damage and potential health risks.

Key Components

1. 1. Visual Inspection – Inspectors conduct a thorough visual examination of the property to identify visible mold growth and moisture sources.
   2. Moisture Mapping – Using tools like moisture meters, inspectors identify areas with elevated moisture levels, which are conducive to mold growth.
   3. Air and Surface Sampling – Air samples are collected to measure mold spore levels in the indoor air.  Surface samples are taken from visible mold growth or suspected areas to identify the specific types of mold present. 
   4. Laboratory Analysis – Collected samples are sent to a laboratory for detailed analysis to determine the type and concentration of mold spores.
   5. Report Preparation – A comprehensive report is prepared, detailing the findings, including the types of mold identified, the extent of contamination, and recommendations for remediation.
