What are the Reasons for a Mold Inspection?

A mold problem is, in a lot of ways, just like a termite problem. The signs of a mold problem don't always present themselves until you start noticing signs like dark spots appearing around light switches or baseboards. Evidence of a termite problem is similar; you may start seeing them or the evidence of degraded wood around your home. By that time, the problem is more advanced than you would ever know without an inspection. You should also understand the visible mold growth you see is often only the tip of the iceberg. If you see mold growth on walls, furniture, or ceilings, you'll need professional mold remediation.

When is a Mold Inspection Needed?

We are usually called into a home or business for one or more of the following reasons:

Recent Water Damage
Observable Visible Growth
Persistent Musty Odor
Unexplained Health Complications
Planned or Pending Real Estate Transaction
Peace of Mind

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 lets you know you have mold, but what you DON’T know is the type of mold or severity of the problem. 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.

Midwest Healthy Home Solutions inspectors are highly trained and certified through the ACAC. 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 Home Solutions use high tech equipment to detect moisture or humidity within your home or business that can lead to a undetected source of mold within your interior space. The inspection also may call for air or surface sampling to determine if mold is present and we will send collected samples to a independent laboratory for analysis to receive scientific valid data from a impartial source.
