What’s the difference between mold testing and inspection?
Testing identifies mold types and spore levels, while inspections locate moisture sources and visible growth. We recommend both for a complete assessment.
How often should I test my home’s air quality?
Test annually or if you notice allergies, odors, or humidity issues. Homes with basements or crawl spaces benefit from more frequent checks.
Are dehumidifiers really effective for mold prevention?
Yes, high-efficiency dehumidifiers like AprilAire reduce moisture in basements and crawl spaces. They help maintain optimal humidity, improve air quality, and protect your home long-term.
A visual inspection was performed in the basement. Three air samples were taken one in the first level of the home, one in the basement and one outside for reference. The first level showed slightly elevated and acceptable levels. The basement showed slightly elevated in multiple categories and elevated in one identification. Recommended working with a remediation contractor on ways of reducing the count in the basement of the home to more acceptable levels.
Three air samples were taken to test for mold in the first level, basement and outside. The first level and basement level were overall good with no significant elevated readings, only slightly in a couple of categories which is not uncommon as we bring mold in to our homes every tie we open doors. It was recommended to monitor the water leakage in the basement area and remove any water damaged drywall and other possible contaminated areas such as the carpet.
An air quality test was performed using the Air Advice which checks 6 categories in the air. The chemical level was very high. This can relate to VOC's such as cleaning products, air fresheners etc. or possibly the HVAC system. The HVAC system may not be bringing enough fresh air in to the home through air exchanges which could also be causing the Carbon Dioxide level to be high as well. It was recommended to contact a HVAC company to inspect the system. The EPA recommends increasing ventilation within our homes and an EZ Breathe ventilation system was discussed as a product that conducts whole home air exchanges.
Upon visual inspection, it was recommended to remove water damaged materials and to install a waterproofing system to keep water from entering the basement.
A visual inspection was made in the basement of the home. Two tape samples were taken to test for mold resulting in confirmation of mold growth on the drywall in the basement. It was recommended to contact a remediation contractor to professionally remove all affected materials form the basement and remediate.
