Mold Inspections

Did you know that Mold Inspectors are required not only to be Certified, but also carry Insurance for testings?  Surprisingly, most people are unaware of this fact. This leads to uninsured and inept contractors being trusted to deliver vital test results which could cost you tens of thousands of dollars in the long run.  Not having the appropriate data collected by a Certified Mold Inspector is just throwing your money away.

Understanding the various types of inspections when dealing with Mold will better assist you in coming to a decision on not only which type of inspection to chose, but also the limitations of each that could effect the results.  As of today, there aren’t any protocol’s for contractors to follow when doing a Mold Inspection.  This is the reason that too many companies in this business will treat a mold inspection more like a paycheck than a service to identify whether or not a home or business has mold growth.  So let’s look into some various types of inspection services and show their pros and cons.

Air SamplingAir Sampling is the use of a Bio-Pump which employs forced air to impact spores onto a collection media or cassette.  Samples are generally best taken if visual, non-invasive examination reveals apparent mold growth or conditions that could lead to growth, such as moisture intrusion or water damage.  Samples are laboratory tested and analyzed and will identify if mold is present, the type of mold and the spore counts against a control.  A control is an outdoor sample taken at the inspection to measure the interior air against the outdoor air as a comparison.
