"Many Mold inspection companies only perform "Mold Testing". Mold testing should not be confused with a Mold Inspection. Mold testing refers to collecting air or surface samples which are analyzed by a laboratory, this procedure will only determine the  mold spore count and spore identification. This process will not help determine what caused the problem, the source or the solution to it; but is very helpful when performed in conjunction with a full inspection."

Inspection InformationTitle

Infrared Thermal Imaging Camera
fussion1 Mold Inspections
Performing a mold inspection without an infrared camera is a mistake.
Sooner or later something will be missed. You just can not see everything that is wet with the naked eye.
Cameras are expensive, the professional mold inspector will have an infrared camera.
Mold needs moisture to grow, (food & water).

When You have MOLD.

What are the benefits of a preliminary mold assessment?
 
 
 

Certified Indoor Environmentalist - third party assessment:  Inspector should not perform any type of remediation so there is no conflict of interest. Our goal is to provide accurate information without bias so that educated decisions can be made.

 

·          Defined "Scope of Work": Defines the boundaries of the affected area(s) needing remediation. Additionally, knowing if the airborne levels are in a range of thousands, or hundreds of thousands may affect decisions regarding the timeliness of remediation, and the continued occupancy of the home.

 

·          Documentation: Many insurance adjusters will not authorize or undertake mold remediation if the presence of mold growth is not scientifically demonstrated. We identify the presence or absence of mold growth with AIHA EMLAP accredited laboratory analysis. Elevated moisture presence is identified through non-intrusive visual inspection with the use of infrared thermal imaging and other moisture detection equipment.

 

·          Recommendations for corrections: Know the extent of cleaning and what specific items/materials can be saved and how, plus what items/materials should be disposed based on nationally accepted industry standards.

 

·          Receive accurate remediation proposals: Saves homeowners and insurance companies money.

 

·          Achievement of "Clearance" is a significantly higher percentage: Providing useful information to remediation companies equals a successful project and allowsoccupants to return home quicker since additional cleaning after post remediation inspection and testing is reduced or eliminated.

 

·          Assessment cost is covered by most insurance companies:

 

·          Cross contamination? Many times when remediation is performed without a preliminary assessment and a containment is used; the post remediation air quality will pass inside the containment but will fail outside the containment. Knowing the extent of airborne microbial amplification before remediation begins eliminates questions of whether cross contamination occurred.

  •  Can be used as part of the Seller's Disclosure: Detailed documentation gives the prospective buyer a sense of comfort knowing the entire process was handled appropriately from start to finish while following accepted industry standards.
Lab report only?
femtotech  
 
    You should know this is used to determine if you need a mold inspection not remediation.
 
 
 

Pro Lab website states:

"The Z5 Sampling Cassette is a cost effective, first-line mold screening tool that efficiently and reliably collects mold."

"... used by home inspectors to get preliminary information on whether a mold problem may exist and further investigation is warranted."

"PRO-LAB/SSPTM Inc. is not able to make and does not make a determination as to the environmental soundness, safety or health of a property from only the samples sent to their laboratory for analysis."
