Mold Inspections

In most cases mold is visibly present and can be collected in the form of a bulk sample. In some cases the mold is not visibly present or is concealed behind interior surfacing materials such as drywall, insulation, carpet or padding, cabinetry etcetera, therefore indoor air quality testing must be performed in order to quantify indoor mold levels and determine if a mold problem exists. The indoor air sample is collected with a special pump that pulls air into a collection trap, sometimes referred to as a spore trap. Indoor air samples should always be taken after a mold Glossary Link remediation is performed in order to verify that the structure has been cleaned properly. All mold samples whether bulk or in a spore trap are delivered to a laboratory and examined by a qualified person under a strict chain of custody. Test results are provided to the inspector who can then provide a report on the analysis.
