Need A Mold Test


mold testA mold test is required before performing a black mold removal. Black mold is toxic and if mold sampling is not performed prior to removal your home could become a very dangerous place to live.

Mold removal is something that should be carefully carried out but first having proper information about the extent of mold damage in your home by performing air quality testing as well as a visual inspection of the home by an experienced professional is extremely important.

Black mold takes only days to begin to form in your home and with the right conditions can quickly escalate into a major problem. You should be especially aware if elderly, children, pregnant women or anyone with allergies is occupying the household. Many times allergies and sickness within the home are the first hint that you need testing for mold and possibly a mold remediation.

Testing for mold is normally required to determine the concentration and levels of mold spores levels as well as the different types of mold spores. There are different ways of performing mold testing. Some mold inspectors use little petrie dishes to grow the mold. This is not an accurate method of determining the concentration of indoor mold spore levels. This type of testing only determines whether or not mold is present in the home. Mold is present in every home. Mold is also present outdoors.

Here is the suggested 5 step process to removing household mold growth from your home.

Mold Inspection- retain a professional mold testing firm to evaluate your home and determine cause of the mold growth and severity of infestation.

Isolation of the infected area- if a mold problem is present, the area should be isolated to prevent contamination non infested areas during clean up.

Mold Removal- Extreme care should be taken to not stir up the mold; if it is severe, or in the walls, a certified mold removal firm using proper protective clothing may have to be aquired and materials removed in hazardous waste containers.

Repair the cause- if there is damage to the foundation or leaky plumbing, elevated humidity levels which created a moisture problem, fix it.

Maintenance/Prevention- preventative measures should be taken to ensure that the cause is dealt with and the issue does not occur again.
