Main Goals of an Inspection

Identify the Mold Source. The mold problem will return if the source of the moisture problem isn't found and fixed first. Causes include leaky water pipes, roof leaks, breaches of the exterior walls where water can seep in, or a past flooding event. The inspection should look for both current and past mold growth and the causes of each.

Determine the Extent. In many cases, your interior walls, flooring, and ceiling cavities are already full of unseen mold by the time you start noticing signs.

Determine the Extent (cont.) Our professionals use air/tape/swab sampling for a lab analysis report to prepare you for the repair or remediation required to eliminate the problem.

Do I Need a Professional Mold Company for an Inspection?

If you see mold, you can reasonably assume you have a problem, so why would you still need to perform a mold inspection?

A basic visual inspection can locate potential mold, but what you DON’T know is the type of mold or extent. You also don’t have an evaluation of your indoor air quality. When indoor mold exists, they release thousands of spores into the air with the potential to cause severe health problems. Without taking air samples, there is no way to determine how widespread the air quality problem is or how far the problem has spread.

A professional mold inspector is someone who has extensive experience with a wide range of mold growth problems. They can find the source, the extent of growth, and create a solution to resolve the issue thoroughly.

The mold experts at Midwest Healthy Basement Solutions air samples for the detection of mold unseen by the naked eye. This technology can indicate mold hidden by building materials or mold that exists in hard-to-reach areas. Our professional services are available in Chesterfield, O'Fallon, Godfrey, Clayton, and more surrounding cities.
