Whole house inspections (most common) are referred to as one of two types of what is called a Complete Mold Inspection which is a non-invasive visual examination of the readily accessible, visible, and installed systems and components of the building; recording moisture, temperature and humidity measurements and taking mold samples. This type of mold and moisture inspection is suited for when there is a concern for microbial growth but the source of moisture is unclear or has not been identified.
These types of inspections cover the exterior, roofing (when accessible or visible), gutter system, yard grading and drainage and all interior areas of the home including basement and attic spaces where accessible, plumbing and heating systems etc.
We offer two types of Complete Mold Inspections, Complete Basic and Complete Advanced.
The Complete Basic inspection includes a whole house inspection, but narrows sampling to specific areas of concern. This is a cost effective way to inspect and test your home for mold with minimal amount of lab sampling. The risk is that the area to be tested can not produce mold testing data that helps identify the source of the moisture or is a true representation of the moldiness of the entire home.
Services included:
– A complete inspection of the exterior and interior areas of the home.
– Humidity, temperature and wall moisture readings including thermal scan if needed, of all areas of concern.
– Review of areas behind appliances and plumbing fixtures where accessible.
– Comprehensive report with photos, comments of findings, and a list of precautionary recommendations regarding next steps and options.
– Includes first 4 samples (Basic) (1 of which is the outdoor/control sample which is required).
– Additional samples can be added
