Our standard inspection is visual and will note areas of moisture intrusion. However, mold is present in some form in all homes. Air sampling is an add-on service that provides detailed lab information regarding the type and quantity of mold spores present in the home.
Homeowners or buyers will test for mold to avoid potential health issues. Mold testing may be requested when any of the following conditions are present:
Schaefer Inspection Service will take 3 air samples. One will be from the home’s exterior as a baseline. 2 additional samples will be taken inside the property at the most likely areas for the presence of mold.
Results are run at the laboratory and a written report of results will be provided.
Mold remediation may be necessary. Your results will tell you the types of mold spores present in the home as well as the quantity of spores.
Schaefer Inspection Service can provide a list of remediation firms to consider. Always get quotes from several professionals.
Toxic black mold is a typical concern, as it can cause serious health issues. One of many types of mold our report includes is black mold (Stachybotrys). The results will provide the information you need to decide if remediation is necessary.
