A mold inspection is the first step in the process of determining if the mold spores in the property are elevated and if so, what type of spores they are.  During a mold inspection we take a minimum of 2 Air Samples to (1 Inside/ 1 Outside) to determine if elevated conditions exist or not. When making a commitment like buying property, you want to make sure you are not purchasing into someone else’s problems. Unfortunately, it is fairly easy to cover up serious mold issues for a short period of time with cleaning or painting the affected areas. There are many reasons to test for mold: Seeing mold with the naked eye or smelling it upon entering the property There was recent water damage in the property The property is older If the new occupants have a respiratory illness or are elderly/infants
