Mold Testing

What is Mold? Where is found? and DO I have it?

Mold has been around forever but we have been hearing allot more about it in these recent years. Mold will grow in your home in warm, wet/damp environments. This growth can be hazardous to your health and can be destructive to your home. Mold is sometimes visible to the eye. I can identify and take samples to be tested in a laboratory when it is visible. 

Poor Ventilation, Water Penetration & Damp Conditions

Mold growth can be prevented and stopped by eliminating moisture and warmth; but it will not kill the mold that is already there. Existing mold must be removed and conditions maintained. 

Attics, Basements, Kitchens and Bathrooms.

I have found mold in attics with poor ventilation, in basements with water penetration and various other areas. During a home inspection I can identify visible mold and I can identify and environment that could cause growth. Mold can be found in attics with poor ventilation. In basements I can identify water penetration and/or potential hazards that could led to penetration. Kitchens and bathrooms in need of repair can lead to environments with mold growth, Mold will grow in damp/wet environments.
