On-Site Mold Inspections Tools and Procedures:
1) Infrared Camera –
The use of the infrared camera has been instrumental in improving the quality of mold detection and remediation, today. It has proven to be the single most important on-site diagnostic tool to determine the extent of mold contamination, because it captures what the eye cannot. Whether detecting hidden mold in walls, ceilings and under flooring, or identifying areas susceptible to future mold growth because of hidden water leakage, the infrared camera does it all!
2) Moisture Detection Device –
Your mold inspectors should come armed with a moisture detection device. This should be used to thoroughly gauge moisture levels on all surfaces. Moisture levels beyond a certain point indicate the likelihood of mold growth.
3) Airborne Mold Detection Kit –
Here, mold testing films are used to detect the level of airborne mold contamination in each room of your property. This is an important method of toxic black mold inspection, because airborne mold spores are invisible to the eye.
Remember that mold inspection and testing should go hand in hand. If on-site mold inspection shows mold growth on your property, your mold inspection consultant should collect swab samples of mold, and samples of air from several areas of your property. This needs to be sent to a laboratory for a detailed analysis of the types of mold spores.
