Why You Might Need An Professional Certified Mold Inspection in San Francisco.

Mold can be a so hard to deal with and can be terrible for your family and business. Once growth begins, it can spread and grow on your carpets, floors, clothing, furniture and many other things. Mold growth can also cause deterioration of insulation, peeling paint, stains on the walls and ceilings and ruin the structural integrity of your home through fungal growth and rot and this is why it is necessary to choose a CERTIFIED Mold Inspection San Francisco Service.

Mold grows in areas with excess moisture, which can be caused by a variety of factors. If not treated properly and in a timely manner, it could lead to serious health problems. There are a number of causes that increase moisture in your home or business: Leaks, Plumbing problems, long term sprinklers, showers, Roof, window and wall failures.

If your home is not properly insulated, or a leak occurs, this causes moisture to build up and creates an ideal environment for mold to live and grow. While not all molds are toxic, it can lead to musty odors, deterioration of your home and also aggravate people with allergies.

When to Inspect and Test?

Hiring a mold inspection San Francisco based company can be preventative or needed when visible mold growth, health concerns and/or water leaks are present. Our certified inspectors have the skills and knowledge to identify any problem areas with a visual inspection and sampling of any potential mold growth.

Samples are sent to Microstest Labs and from there report analysis and a full report will be constructed based on the lab results, visual inspection notes, any recommendations and an estimate for remediation work in areas that have been found to have fungal contamination. Sampling includes Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) as well as surface samples in our basic mold inspection package. Specific sampling can be done based on the situation at hand.

Types of Mold Testing (Sampling)

Surface Sampling: Swab: Sterile swabs are used to collect samples from suspect surfaces. The swab is swiped over the target area and then stored in a buffer solution. After sampling, swabs are packed into an insulated sample chest with ice or frozen gel packs and sent to the laboratory.

Surface Sampling: Taple Lift: Clear Adhesive 3M Brand Cellophane tape is used to obtain a sample from a suspect surface. Samples are then sent to the laboratory for analysis.

Air Sampling: The cassette (spore trap) is used for collecting particles floating in the air. Ambient air is pumped (via a vacuum pump) through the tapered inlet slit of the Air-O-Cell Cassette. The cassettes are sent to an independent laboratory for analysis.

Bulk Sampling: The removal of wall sections or other suspect items in significant portions is known as bulk sampling. Bulk samples are cut away, placed in plastic bags and sealed. They are then packaged into an insulated sample chest with ice or frozen gel packs and sent to an independent laboratory where they are examined for spores and/or cultured as needed. This type of sampling allows for accurate identification of spores.
