Are you concerned you may have mold and mildew in your residence, office, or other structure? If you are worried about the presence of mold and mildew, or if a house inspector or other professional has notified you about mold and mildew, you may wish to arrange an assessment with Healthy Home Mold Inspection Rockford IL. Below is a quick introduction of what we do throughout a regular assessment:
Visual Mold Inspection : Evaluation Process
The preliminary step in determining a possible mold and mildew problem is the visual inspection. Throughout this phase, we will be searching for three elements: proof of water leak or intrusion, visual signs of of mold and mildew development, along with areas with a capacity for mold development in the future. An assessment will cover the interior space, attic area, basement as well as the crawl space or storage area. The exterior of the dwelling will also be checked out for indications of water damage or or structural issues that might lead to moisture seepage into the home.
Direct Mold Samples
Surface sampling is included to identify mold and mildew varieties on a surface area.
This method is useful in identifying if you have mold and mildew in areas where there is discoloration or other signs of mold-like conditions. If you have mold and mildew in locations where there is discoloration or other possible mold-like conditions, this strategy is useful in identifying if the substance is mold. For this sampling method a clear tape or swab sample is used to gather mold-like material. Material collected on the tape or swab can then be examined with a fungi screen or culture by an independent lab.
Mold Inspection Rockford : Air Sampling Tests
Air sampling is the most effective techniques for establishing whether mold exists in a specific location. Our test utilizes an air sampling cassette. Air quality is analyzed by using a machine that draws in air across a microscope slide. The sample is then sent to an independent laboratory where the spores are classified by type and counted. An exterior comparison sample is taken to establish a typical mold count in your area on the day the mold tests are taken.
Interpreting your Mold Inspection Laboratory Report
The independent lab will send us the report of your mold screening samples, which we will then talk about with you and provide you a copy. The details we provide to you from the mold test will contain information like the type of mold, quantity of mold and mildew is present, description of the mold and mildew characteristics and issues, comparison of mold and mildew amounts discovered compared with "routine" amounts of mold located in your geographic area, etc. We do much more than notify you "you have mold and mildew." We will include a written report identifying the causes of the mold and the best ways to get rid of it through mold remediation and mold removal strategies.
Mold Removal Recommendations
You will be the one to choose exactly what to about the mold problem when we make you aware of the results of the mold testing. We will give you a written recommendation of steps you can take yourself to get rid of the mold, or recommend a mold remediation protocol if you choose to work with a mold remediation business. We can also carry out post mold remediation testing to make sure your house has been effectively cleaned by the mold removal service.
