How Is A Mold Inspection Accomplished?

The EPA recommends periodic Mold Inspection and Testing. The inspection should be done by an experienced and certified Mold Testing Service such as Mold Testing NJ-NY. We offer our services to homeowners in Bergen County NJ as well as a broader area of surrounding NJ counties. We are often recommended by one client to another and have developed a loyal following of satisfied homeowners. We are always eager to explain the whole procedure for testing mold in NJ.

A 5-Step Process

1. Visual Inspection – Visual inspection is the beginning. This step is important for locating mold and where it originates. Mold is usually hidden and invisible, but a visual inspection is still necessary.

2. Testing the Air – When mold spores are found in the air, a mold problem is present. These spores grow and multiply and can cause allergic reactions and illness, sometimes serious.

3. Surface Testing – Swab or tape samples from surfaces in your home are sent to a laboratory for analysis.

4. Bulk Testing – When there is a larger area of unidentified mold, a piece of carpeting, or a tile, or a paint sample from the wall or ceiling is taken and sent to a laboratory for analysis.

5. Culture Testing – Sometimes mold is discovered that cannot be easily identified. This requires taking a sample and allowing it to grow into a larger culture, and then sending it to a laboratory for analysis.

Don’t Try To Do This On Your Own

Mold Testing Services have their own methods, but they usually come up with the same result. When mold is found it is important to know the root cause of the mold. If you don’t know where it is coming from you’ll never be able to get rid of it. It will return time and again. Do-It-Yourself kits don’t address this – a professional mold tester does.
