Why A Mold Inspection Is Critical To Your House Ownership

By Lisa Martinez


A thorough mold inspection and mold testing are key to preparing an effective plan for mold removal. There are a number of methods and pieces of equipment that aid an inspector in his search for mold. Today, I will shed light on what some of those methods are and introduce commonly used inspection tools.

If you believe you may have mold growth in your home or workplace, you can hire a professional mold inspection company to come out for an inspection of the premises. You can get a thorough home mold inspection by the certified inspectors to ensure your environment is safe for your family and co-workers.

Although more than half a million varieties of mold exist, only a small percentage of these have been identified. Of these, only a few are known to grow indoors and only about 1,000 of them are toxic to humans. However, there is little consolation to be found in this fact, mainly because even a single variety of toxic mold is enough to trigger health problems. Timely mold inspection and removal can prevent the growth of mold within the home. The growth of mold can also have a negative impact on building structures. Examples include peeling paint, crumbling insulation and so on.

Most people are not aware that they are exposed to various types of different species of molds each day, and although many of the molds are harmless, there is a chance that some might not be. Toxic mold growth in your work or home environment has a serious effect on your health and the health of those around you. Through a personalized mold inspection by professional inspectors, you get the service you need to accommodate your needs. A mold inspector can make the much-needed recommendations to a home or business owner about the best route for mold removal.

Air testing is probably the most useful type of mold testing and is usually the form of testing used to "clear" an area after a mold removal project. An air test measures the content of airborne mold particles invisible to the naked eye. Also, it is airborne mold that is most harmful to someone's respiratory system. This type of testing can also be used to uncover cross contamination from an active mold area and a clean area.
