Choosing the right Mold Inspector

Choosing the right Mold Inspector is extremely important. A proper IAQ inspection requires extensive investigation and attention to detail as well as a thorough knowledge of water intrusion issues and mold remediation protocols. For over 2 decades we have tested thousands of homes within the tristate area and because of this extensive experience, it’s rare for us to come across issues we haven’t already seen before.

Potential Mold Issue

In researching your potential mold issue, you may come across different websites selling “Mold Test Kits” that claim to provide you with results from surface samples around your house. These kits are extremely inefficient and the petri dish growth almost always looks exactly the same no matter where the swabs are in contact. We know this because our customers often show us these results upon our arrival. Don’t waste your time and money on DIY mold kits when you can call INX Today!

The Right Mold Inspector

The right mold inspector not only reports a mold issue, they also provide information on why it is there, the source of the problem, what needs to be done to correct it, and the remediation costs. We provide all the answers necessary to make an informed decision to protect your family and property from unwanted indoor air quality dangers.

Attention Home Buyers!

How do I know if I have Mold and what should I do?
There are several ways to tell if you have mold.

Our mold inspectors are trained

Our mold inspectors are trained to use many techniques and various types of equipment to expose surface growth and detect airborne mold spore contamination. The inspector will also investigate the source of the problem and will check for additional water intrusion issues.

Source of moisture

In most cases the source of moisture comes from a leaky foundation or condensation/moisture from appliances like air conditioners or washing machines. Once the source of moisture is identified and an action plan is put in place to ensure that moisture does not return, remediation can take place.

Mold issues in basements

Mold issues in basements are quite common and can typically be resolved pretty quickly with preventative measures in place to ensure issues don’t return. Call INX today to ensure your issue is handled properly and professionally so that you and your family can Breathe Easy!

Here at INX Indoor Air Quality, we’re passionate about all aspects of mold remediation, including inspection and testing, but we understand that unless you work in the mold remediation field, you’re probably not an expert on the subject.

It’s normal to have questions, and we encourage you to call us and ask any questions you have. However, if you’re in on the go or simply aren’t feeling up to giving us a call at the moment, we’ve compiled answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about mold inspection and testing for you here.

A Mold inspection is the process of searching for mold growth in a home. This is generally the first step of mold remediation, and it is done using a number of techniques, including mold testing as well as simple olfactory and visual inspection.
In addition to simply using our visual and olfactory senses, we use a number of proven testing methods to identify mold growth in a home. The most common mold testing methods that we use include swab sampling, air sampling, and laboratory analysis, which can easily detect mold spores before they spread and create a much more severe and costly problem.
Mold Inspection and testing is necessary anytime you suspect mold is growing in your home. Mold contamination can cause a myriad of issues, including structural damage to your home and health issues that can continue to get worse over time. If you notice any visual signs, weird smells, or water damage in your home, it’s best to call us immediately so that we can get ahead of your mold issue before it gets worse

While you may be able to conduct your own mold inspection and even confirm that mold is present in your home, it’s best to trust the professionals at INX. Our mold inspectors are incredibly thorough with their investigations and can catch even the smallest amount of mold spores in areas that you are sure to miss without professional training.
Can You Conduct Your Own Mold Inspection

Our mold inspectors are highly trained and possess a number of well-respected qualifications that make them well-equipped to handle all of your mold remediation needs. All of our inspectors are fully insured and certified mold remediation experts, so you can trust that they’ll get the job done right.

In addition, we are also members of the National Association of Mold, the Suburban West Realtors Association, and the Indoor Air Quality Association.

If we detect mold growth in your home, it’s best to begin the mold removal process as quickly as possible so that your mold problems don’t get worse. We’ll come up with an efficient and effective plan and then walk you through the entire process. Then we’ll schedule a time to begin work when it’s most convenient for you.
The mold removal process can vary drastically depending on where and how much mold is detected in your home. However, in general, the first step is constructing containment structures that ensure the mold doesn’t spread to the unaffected areas in your home. We’ll then use HEPA vacuums and air scrubbers to suck any airborne mold spores right out of the air. Once all contaminated surfaces and structures are contained, we either clean or cut out and replace the affected areas depending on the severity of the problem and then apply a coating in order to protect your home from becoming contaminated in the future. Once we complete all of these steps, we’ll conduct additional mold testing to confirm that all mold removal process was successful and that your home and your family are mold-free for years to come.

While these terms may be confusing, there is a simple way to think about it. Mold removal is essentially all of the steps and procedures involved in eliminating mold from a home. So while mold remediation is an all-encompassing term, mold inspection, mold testing, and mold removal are all essential steps in the mold remediation process.
What is the Difference between Mold Inspection

There are a number of effective ways homeowners can prevent mold from growing in their homes. Mold grows in dark, damp environments like basements and bathrooms, so controlling the level of moisture in your home is your best bet to prevent mold from growing.

Dehumidifiers and moisture meters can go a long way to helping you keep moisture levels low, but in the case of more severe water intrusion, basement waterproofing and roof repairs may be necessary.

If you are really concerned about mold, it could be a good idea to have a mold inspector conduct regular mold inspections in your home to identify potential problem areas and ensure that the proper measures are in place.
