What Does the Mold Inspection Process Include?

Our mold inspection process includes an exhaustive inspection and testing to determine the best course of action for mold removal. As IICRC-certified inspectors, we will meet you at your property to conduct a comprehensive investigation. Our mold inspection process includes:

 

• Initial Consultation:  We begin with a discussion to understand any known or suspected mold issues and concerns. 

• Visual Inspection:  We conduct a thorough visual examination of the property, noting visible mold, moisture sources, and possible areas of concern.

• Moisture Assessment:  We identify and document sources of moisture and elevated humidity levels.

• Mold Testing (if needed):  We collect samples for mold testing, if warranted, to determine mold types and concentrations. 

• Report and Recommendations:  We prepare a detailed report summarizing findings, including the location of mold growth, moisture issues, and recommendations for remediation and prevention. 

 

Mold Inspection Cost

The cost of mold inspection  can vary significantly based on several factors. These factors include the severity of the mold infestation, the size of the affected area, and the location of the mold. Typically, for a comprehensive, whole-home inspection, you can expect costs to range from $250 to $900. However, at Accountable Home Services, we understand the urgency and importance of dealing with mold problems. That's why we offer free mold inspections. This allows us to offer you an accurate assessment of the situation and provide a detailed action plan without any upfront costs. We are committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of our clients and their property, offering cost-effective and reliable solutions.

Mold Inspection vs Mold Testing

While both mold inspection and mold testing services play crucial roles in the overall mold removal process, they are distinct procedures that serve different purposes.

 

Mold inspection is primarily a visual investigation of the property to identify visible signs of mold presence. Our trained experts at Accountable Home Services meticulously examine your property for any signs of mold growth, including hidden areas that are often overlooked. This inspection also includes identifying sources of moisture that could contribute to mold growth.

 

However, not all mold growths are easily visible. There may be instances where you can't see mold but detect signs like a musty odor that suggests a mold issue. In such cases, mold testing becomes necessary. Our technicians will collect air samples, surface samples, and material samples from within your property. These samples are then analyzed in the laboratory to accurately identify the type and concentration of mold present. 

 

Both these services work in tandem to provide a comprehensive understanding of the mold situation in your property. By combining the visual observations from the mold inspection with the detailed analytical data from the mold testing, we are equipped to devise the most effective mold remediation strategy for your property.
