A quality mold inspection will typically begin with a thorough visual inspection
of the property. The investigator will be looking for any signs of current or past water intrusion since water or moisture is necessary for mold growth.
The inspection will look for moisture around plumbing fixtures,attics,crawl spaces or basements and anywhere else a problem may be present. As is sometimes the case with small leaks in plumbing in the wall cavities the moisture may not always be evident. In those circumstances the investigator may use additional tools such as a moisture meter,boroscope,or infrared camera to look to for the moisture. If a moisture problem is found,the inspector will guide the client through steps that can be taken to correct the problem.
Depending on what the investigator discovers they may recommend taking air,bulk or surface samples to test for the presence of mold. It is imperative that the source of any moisture be identified and fixed to prevent future mold growth.
It is important to hire only experienced,qualified professionals for this vital task.
