Mold & Indoor Air Quality Assessments

A mold assessment helps determine if you have a mold problem in your home or building.

Mold Health Effects

• Potential to cause illness: Mold exposure can trigger various health problems, especially in sensitive individuals with asthma, allergies, or weakened immune systems.
• Limited research: The vast number of mold types (over 60,000!) makes it challenging to understand their health effects. New research is ongoing, but there’s still much to learn.

What is a Mold Assessment?

• Key factors assessed:
  • Presence of mold growth: This is the main question the assessment answers.
  • Underlying cause: Identifying the reason for mold growth is crucial for proper remediation.
  • Mold extent: The assessment estimates the affected area if mold is present.
• Assessment process:
  • Visual inspection: We inspect the property for visible mold and moisture issues.
  • Sampling (optional): In some cases, samples of suspected mold are taken for lab analysis to identify the type and concentration.
• Assessment report: The report documents the findings, including photos, sample results, and recommendations for remediation if mold is found.
