South Florida’s proximity to the ocean and warm temperatures year-round make it a great place to live and visit. While we love South Florida for many reasons, the local mixture of water, heat and weather makes it a place where mold can thrive in your home if there is an opportunity for water to enter.
Our company offers a valuable service for residents of South Florida by providing certified mold inspection. Our team consists of experienced technicians who have a great deal working in our area, and we offer comprehensive mold inspection services to give homeowners peace of mind knowing their home is mold free, or providing a plan to remediate it if mold is detected.
Many people have never experienced a mold issue or aren’t sure who to call if they suspect their home could have mold. If you’re in this situation, we want to help. In the sections to follow, you will find the answers to some common questions we get regarding our mold inspection services. We hope these are helpful, and if you have additional questions we’re just a phone call away.
Is Mold Always Visible?
Many people think they can’t have a mold issue if they do not see visible signs of mold. While mold does present itself visually if it’s present on a surface, mold can also be present in the air and therefore not visible to the naked eye. Mold can also thrive behind walls in your home, so even if you can’t see it there could still be an issue.
How is a Mold Inspection Done?
Our technicians are trained to perform mold inspections based on physical inspection of the area and taking samples to test for the presence of mold even if it’s not seen. When there is an issue, we know what areas of the home to check and what to look for during our visit. We also take samples of the air in your home and of surface material to send off to our lab for further testing.
Does Your Company Remediate Mold?
Since we perform mold inspections, part of our job is to make recommendations on how mold should be removed. Remediated is a foreign term to many people, but put simply it means the removal of mold and any areas where the mold could potentially begin to grow again. Since we are contracted to design the remediation plan if mold is present, it would be a conflict of interest to also offer remediation services. If you have a need for a mold inspection we would love to help you, but no matter which company you choose be sure to select one company for the inspection and another to remediate.
We understand the presence of mold can be an unnerving finding, but if you seek professional assistance the issue can be corrected. We have worked with businesses and individuals all across South Florida with their mold inspection needs, and we can help you as well. If you have additional questions or want to book your appointment please give us a call today.
