Preparation Steps
Follow these important steps to ensure an effective mold inspection
Clear Access to Areas
Ensure all areas where mold is suspected (basements, attics, crawl spaces, bathrooms, etc.) are easily accessible. Remove any furniture, clutter, or personal items that may obstruct inspection of walls, ceilings, floors, and corners.
Do Not Ventilate
Avoid ventilating the areas where mold is suspected in the days leading up to the inspection. Opening windows or using fans could affect moisture levels and influence the results.
Fix Any Leaks
If there are known water leaks (from pipes, roofs, windows, etc.), it's helpful if these have been repaired before the inspection. If repairs haven't been made, please inform us.
Allow Sufficient Time
Mold inspections generally take 30-60 minutes, depending on the size of your property. Please ensure you're available to discuss any concerns or observations.
Avoid Cleaning
Please refrain from cleaning the areas to be inspected, including applying any mold-killing products or chemicals, as these could interfere with the inspection.
Secure Pets
For safety reasons, it's best to keep pets and young children away from the areas being inspected during the process.
