Mold Inspection

Here is what you can accept when receiving a Springfield mold inspection. Prior to taking any air or surface samples, our technician will perform a full visual assessment of your home or business. They’ll use tools like moisture meter and thermal imaging camera to pinpoint areas with water intrusion, excess moisture, and visible mold. If you require thermal imaging, please be sure to tell our customer service as it is basically an advanced moisture meter and some inspectors prefer the old school approach. Our inspectors have seen just about every situation that you could think of so they will have a good idea what is happening and know where mold tests should be taken.

Unfortunately some people are under the impression that a mold inspection should be free. This is largely due to the fact that mold remediation companies make this offer without testing. As you can imagine this is a big conflict of interest. As we frequently say, not all mold is harmful and we have many clients that believe they have a problem and it is simply non-toxic normal amounts of mold growth at the property. If the person doing the inspection has a financial incentive to you having a problem, it is far less likely they will tell you the truth.

Mold Testing

Mold Test Springfield

Is Springfield mold testing really necessary? If you think you are having problems with indoor mold growth but are not certain or are not sure about the extent of the problem, then the answer to that question is a YES! The reality is that most people dealing with these types of issues have never been in this type of situation before. This means they need to put their trust in the hands of a professional that does have experience and knowledge on the topic. That leaves you with two options, a company like us that only does inspections and testing or a restoration company that handles removal. Hopefully by now you see the benefit of getting an unbiased assessment but still may be wondering why we need to perform Springfield mold tests. Here are some of the reasons can be beneficial:

Consolidate Work Area
Evidence of a Problem
Determine Extent of Issues
Uncover Hidden Problems
Clearance Testing
Slightly Elevated Conditions

By taking air samples from different areas of the house, we can see if a problem is isolated or widespread. If it is isolated, the company doing the work can put up a temporary containment and use far less equipment than if the problem has spread throughout the whole property. Springfield mold testing also can provide you with proof of a problem if you are in any sort of legal battle or landlord/tenant dispute. Our air samples can uncover whether or not someone is trying to hide a problem. If you are in the middle of a real estate transaction, making sure the property does not have mold issues is very important. If you had restoration work completed, clearance testing after the job is done will make sure the job was done correctly and no lingering issues are present. If a property has only slightly elevated conditions, you will not always see the problem. This can be particularly concerning for people who suffer from mold allergies. These tests are very accurate and the data will allow us to give you advice on what if anything needs to be done to get your indoor air quality to standard levels. Essentially you are spending some money for our service to either reduce or eliminate much larger remediation costs in the future.

What We Test For

Mold Inspection Springfield

Having a certified mold inspector in Springfield perform a visual inspection and take air/surface samples is far superior to a mold test kit for many reasons. Both our tests and the kits that are found in hardware stores online pick up the following species and more:

Stachybotrys Chartarum
Pennicillium Aspergillius
Cladosporium
Acremonium
Basidiospores
Mucor
Cladosprium

However, our air samples test not only for the presence of these species but also the quantity in each area they are taken in. Certain species of mold like Cladosporium and Basidiospores are acceptable at low levels. So a test kit will likely show you that this is there, but not know the quantity will leave you back where you started from. You need to ask yourself if the data a test gives will help you determine what is happening and what needs to be done. If the answer is no, the expertise of a mold expert is most likely what you need. If you plan to use the results in a legal dispute, the results will not stand up unless taken by an unbiased third party who is certified in this line of work.
