#1 Mold Inspection & Testing

Mold inspections and testing are conducted to assess the presence of mold in a building. Mold can cause various health problems, so it is important to test for its presence if you suspect it may be present. Mold testing involves taking samples of the air and surfaces in the suspected area and sending them to a lab for analysis. Mold inspectors will also look for signs of mold growth, such as musty odors or visible spores. If mold is found, they will recommend measures to remediate the problem.

Mold inspection and testing are essential to determine the extent of a mold problem in a home or office building. There are many different types of mold, each with its unique set of characteristics. A professional mold inspector will use various tools and techniques to identify the specific type of mold present. 

The most common piece of equipment used in mold inspection is a moisture meter. Moisture meters are used to measure the moisture content of materials, such as walls, ceilings, floors, and furniture. By measuring the moisture content of these materials, the inspector can determine if there is an environment that is conducive to mold growth.

Mold can cause serious health problems, and it's important to have a professional mold inspection and testing done if you think you might have a mold problem. However, many people are surprised to learn that their insurance policy may cover the cost of mold inspections and testing.

If you're considering having a mold inspection or testing done, it's a good idea to check with your insurance company first to see if they will cover the cost. Some insurance policies specifically exclude coverage for mold, so it's important to read your policy carefully. Even if your policy doesn't cover mold, you may still be able to get some reimbursement for the cost of the inspection or test if mold is found and deemed to be the cause of damages covered by your policy.

Mold is a type of fungus that can grow both indoors and outdoors. Mold reproduces through tiny spores that travel through the air. When these mold spores land on a damp surface, they begin to grow.

While mold is essential for the breakdown of organic matter, some types of mold can be dangerous to humans. Mold produces toxins called mycotoxins that can cause respiratory problems, skin irritation, and other health issues.

Mold exposure can cause a variety of symptoms, including:

• Coughing
•  Sneezing
•  Itchy eyes
•  Runny nose
•  Difficulty breathing
•  Wheezing
•  Skin rashes
•  Headaches
