Mold Assessment Inspection and Report

The Mold Assessment Inspection and Report includes a detailed mold assessment and inspection of the entire property or area of interest. This meticulous process involves inspecting each room from top to bottom, the attic, and the crawl space to identify signs of mold and moisture intrusion which is necessary for knowing the extent, scope, and if mold removal is needed. Throughout this process, I utilize a variety of devices and technologies to gather information, such as, humidity, moisture content of building materials, IR camera, air sampling, surface sampling, wall cavity sampling, and in some situations ERMI or EMMA sampling.

After the mold assessment and inspection is complete, mold testing will commence pending the property owner’s approval. The mold samples are sent to an independent and certified laboratory for mold testing and analysis. The lab results provide information on 1) Which molds are found, 2) The relative levels of any mold found, and 3) If these molds have the potential to produce mycotoxins which may cause health-related problems.

I generate the Mold Assessment Report based on lab data and information collected during the assessment of your property. This report provides depth and detail to the Lab Report, identifies and elaborates upon each problem area of the property, and provides recommendations for resolving your mold problems. Pictures are included to show the locations and extent of the mold.

Mold Remediation Protocol

The Mold Remediation Protocol package adds a step-by-step process for remediating mold on your property. This valuable add-on creates a specific plan for addressing mold infestation based on your property details and sets up boundaries for the remediation company to carry out its work plan. As such, they know what to remove and how much needs to be removed as opposed to taking the liberty to make these decisions themselves. Having done a detailed mold assessment, knowing where the mold issues are on your property, and understanding the types and concentrations of molds at your locations allows me to build out a personalized removal plan based on your property needs. Include a Mold Remediation Protocol from a licensed mold inspector who is independent of mold remediation companies.

Post-Remediation Verification/Clearance

The Post-Remediation Verification, or Clearance Testing, is based on Visual, Procedural, and Analytical standards being met, and includes a series of mold tests that are taken to verify that a mold remediation project has effectively been completed. Essentially, this process checks to make sure that your mold problem has been corrected and post-remediation mold levels are no longer elevated. Post-Remediation Verification testing by an independent Mold Assessment Consultant/Indoor Environmental Professional should be included in any contract your sign with a remediation company. Your interests will be better served by ensuring this.

Mold Testing

This is an option for those interested in only having mold testing done. Mold tests are conducted at your property and then are sent to an independent and certified laboratory that specializes in mold testing and analysis. Included with the mold testing process will be a follow-up Lab Report. The Lab Report provides information on:

1. Which molds are found

2. If these molds have the potential to cause health-related problems

3. The relative levels of any mold that is found

Note: The costs associated with these services vary. Please contact me for an estimate.

Note: The mold inspection involves a limited inspection and will not involve altering, disassembling, repairing, or changing any system or structure within the home. Systems within the home include but are not limited to plumbing, HVAC, electrical, or others. Professionals within each of these fields should be consulted for such services.
