Mold Testing Services
Mold and mildew occur naturally in the environment and often don’t pose a problem in a home or business. But in cases where mold or mildew concentration is excessive, or where individuals who are especially sensitive or vulnerable are likely to be exposed, professional mold inspection, mold testing, and mold remediation may be necessary.
Mold Inspection & Mold Testing
Assessing any mold problem begins with a professional mold inspection. The inspector will look for visible signs of mold as well as evidence of a recent or ongoing source of moisture. Once the presence of mold is established, the inspector will weigh factors like a property’s use and its inhabitants’ likely sensitivity to determine whether mold sampling and laboratory mold testing are appropriate. Mold sampling allows us to evaluate whether mold spore concentrations are outside typically safe levels. Mold testing – conducted by an accredited third-party professional laboratory facility – uses the gathered samples to determine the particular varieties of mold, mildew, and other microorganisms present. This gives us further insight into toxicity levels and any dangers associated with exposure.
Mold Cleaning, Mold Removal & Mold Remediation
Because there are many factors contributing to the cause and likely effects of any mold growth on your property, professional mold remediation can take many forms. What matters most is that the cleanup and restoration plan is informed by a thorough understanding of the environment at hand. At 911 Restoration, we follow the strict guidelines of the IICRC for mold remediation. Typical mold remediation procedures include:
- Site assessment and moisture mitigation to address the cause of mold growth
- Site preparation and containment to prevent cross-contamination
- Structural drying and dehumidifying
