MOLD INSPECTION
A mold inspection should be performed by a trained professional that has the proper tools & equipment and knows what to look for. A mold inspection will begin with a visual inspection of the area and building materials involved. The inspector will then locate the source of the water that caused the mold growth in the first place. If necessary the inspector will take a sample of the affected area for testing.
MOLD TESTING
Homes and workplaces sometimes have mold problems which require mold testing to better understand the risk to occupants. Mold testing allows us to classify the mold as allergenic, pathogenic or a more serious toxigenic species such as Stachybotrys commonly referred to as the Toxic Black Mold. A mold test not only determines the species present but through more advanced mold testing methods, a mold test can also quantify the concentrations of mold present in the air.
MOLD AIR TESTING – AIR QUALITY TESTING
Mold air testing (otherwise known as Air Quality Testing) is the best mold testing method to understand the level of mold contamination within a building. The mold air testing process will reveal all key mold species groups present in the air and the exact quantity. This is compared to what is found in the outside air to better understand what mold sources are indoors. Mold hidden behind walls, floors or ventilation systems can be detected through an Air Quality Test.
Some people have adverse health effects from mold and receive exposure through spores traveling in the air, this is when Air Testing is the only way to accurately determine the amount & type of mold they are breathing in. Direct Surface Mold Testing – Direct Tape Lift; Surface mold testing identifies the species of molds on substrates to confirm the presence of mold. If visible mold is present, the surface test will identify the species and determine if the mold is Allergenic, Pathogenic or Toxigenic. These methods are non-invasive and non-destructive.
MOLD REMEDIATION
After a test for mold has come back positive it's time to fix the issue that caused the mold in the first place and remove the mold. The mold remediation (aka mold removal) process should be carried out by a trained and qualified professional to ensure it is done right the first time. Our trained and experienced staff has what it takes to return the air you breathe to its pre mold condition.
REBUILD/RENOVATIONS
With the inspections, testing, removal and final testing now complete it’s time to put everything that was affected back together. Quite often the restoration contractor will serve as the general contractor at this point. Restoration contractors have a long list of qualified trade contacts to utilize, they are also familiar with the way everything was set up beforehand.
MOLD INFORMATION
Mold is a common fungus found almost everywhere, inside and outside, year round. There are thousands of species of mold, where there is moisture and oxygen – multiplying microscopic spores are there as well. As mold travels through the air, it attaches to structures in and around homes and buildings. Once mold takes hold, it can cause discoloration and damage to materials. To thoroughly prepare for proper mold remediation of a project, a professional assessment should be conducted to learn and identify what has created a mold issue and what steps should be taken to perform comprehensive mold remediation and repair. Remediation plans are tailored to your needs and Amaze Restoration can help from start to finish. Mold Remediation is the cleaning as well as removal of mold. Cleaning the mold is only a temporary solution and can actually cause more damage down the road as mold spores are released into the air when being disturbed. In order to have a successful remediation, a professional or expert must assess the situation to determine what is causing the mold to grow, follow numerous steps that must be taken to not only remove the mold but prevent it from reappearing. Water damages can cause mold growth in your home or business. It is important to have water damage cleaned up promptly and professionally as mold can begin to grow within 48 hours. Signs of the presence of excessive mold include: - Visible mold (spotting, discoloration etc.) - Strong, musty odours - Evidence of past moisture problems that might have caused undetected mold growth - Excessive humidity.
