Don’t Risk It: Get a Certified Mold Inspection
Before removing any kind of mold problem (big or small), you first need to find out what’s causing it so that you can prevent the mold from growing back. This is best done with a professional mold inspection. In addition to helping plan for the mold remediation, this comprehensive visual assessment will also identify any additional hazards like asbestos that could be present in the affected area. (This is more common than you’d think!)

Why Mold Inspections are Crucial to Avoid Extreme Complications?
Who to Call for Mold Inspection?
Worried about black spots, stains or wall discoloration in your home? Do you notice an earthy, damp or musty smell in the basement? What about condensation on your walls and windows?
All of these are typical signs of a mold problem. As a property owner, you need to know that black mold spreads easily and presents a danger to your health. Ignoring it is not a safe or effective solution.
Any suspicious area should be looked at by a trained and experienced mold inspector. They will be able to take a mold test on site to confirm the presence of mold. They will also be able to inspect the affected area with a thermal imaging camera and measure moisture levels in order to find hidden moisture problems. (Remember, moisture is the main cause of mold!) With all of this information, you will receive a detailed inspection report and, if needed, a scope of work and estimate for remediation.

FAQ
Have you noticed that you’re having difficulties breathing properly, perhaps the sensation that it’s more of a chore to do so? Or, are you frequently getting sick and developing congestion issues? These are common symptoms associated with several species of mold. The fungus often thrives in moist or unsanitary environments, so getting a professional inspection arranged is a proactive step to take. Some species of mold can be highly toxic or even lethal if not addressed in the short term, so don’t put your health and safety at risk when it can be avoided!
Yes, especially if old brickwork or stonework is incorporated into the construction, as deep crevices can form in the foundation that will allow moisture to seep in over time. This is where mold will fester and spread, and it can be difficult to detect other than the smell and illness-associated symptoms. If you’re ever unsure, always reach out to a dedicated and experienced professional for mold identification and detection services.
This depends on the complexity and severity of the mold outbreak in question. Typical inspections take up to 1 hour a day, while if there are multiple species or risk elements present, we may need to carry out follow-up inspections (though these are rare). If you can see mold as it is, then we can get started on testing and removal, inspecting along the way to identify the presence of any more areas where it may be thriving. This is especially important in time-sensitive situations such as when trying to remove dangerous species such as black or white mold.
This largely depends on a number of factors, namely the size of your property, the complexity of the layout and/or situation at hand, and other variables.
