What is the mold inspector looking for?
Mold needs a source of moisture or humidity, a source of food or nutrients, and proper temperature to grow. Because mold grows well at room temperature, control is achieved through adequate control of moisture or humidity in the house. Our inspections find areas which have poor humidity control, excess condensation or water intrusion. We are also identifying areas with visible fungal growth, high mold spore counts, water damage, excess organic matter such as dust or dander, poor ventilation, and inadequate air filtration.
