What is a mold inspection (assessment)?

"a mold assessment is to determine the sources, locations and extent of mold growth in a building, to determine the condition(s) that caused the mold growth, and to enable the assessment consultant to prepare a mold remediation protocol."

When objects are wet they usually have a different temperature.

Do Not Use Just Air Samples (test) to Determine The Need For Mold Remediation

Can your home inspector interpret your mold lab results?   http://www.epa.gov/mold/moldcourse/chapter3/lesson3.html   "Sampling for mold should be conducted by professionals who have specific experience in designing mold sampling protocols, sampling methods, and interpreting the results."   EPA   "Experience in interpretation of results is essential.”   EPA

EPA           Considering Bioaerosol Sampling http://www.epa.gov/mold/moldcourse/chapter7/lesson2.html   "remember that a negative sampling report must not be used in place of a visual survey. Factors such as barometric pressure, inside and outside temperatures, activity levels, and humidity may dramatically reduce or increase the spore levels within a building. Air sampling for mold provides information on what was in the air only for the moment when the sampling occurred. It is important, therefore, that sampling not replace visual inspection."

Did you order a mold inspection and just get lab analysis for a report? You had a mold test!   A mold test analysis is only part of a mold inspection Report. This is not a reliable method of determining whether the property has a mold issue and does not identify any sources or information about why there is an elevated spore count. A mold cleanup company needs a complete report.   www.naplesmoldinspection.com

John Cosgrove, CIE and Doug Wall, CIE provide mold inspections that include a detailed report with detailed recommendations.   (Ever have a home inspector tell you, the home has elevated mold; you’ll have to have a remediation company find it and clean it up? or"call the lab") Did you just get lab analysis for a Naples mold inspection report? You just had a mold test not an inspection.   Remediation companies clean up mold.  Your Naples, Bonita Springs, or Cape Coral mold inspector should identify & document mold problems and moisture intrusion and include recommendations in your report.

According to: New York City Department of Health (DOH), the New York City Human Resources Administration (HRA), and the Mt. Sinai Occupational Health Clinic  ….. Guidelines on Assessment and Remediation of Fungi in Indoor Environments. 2.1 Visual Inspection   ****** A visual inspection is the most important initial step in identifying a possible contamination problem. The extent of any water damage and mold growth should be visually assessed. This assessment is important in determining remedial strategies. Ventilation systems should also be visually checked, particularly for damp filters but also for damp conditions elsewhere in the system and overall cleanliness. Ceiling tiles, gypsum wallboard (sheetrock), cardboard, paper, and other cellulosic surfaces should be given careful attention during a visual inspection. The use of equipment such as a boroscope, to view spaces in ductwork or behind walls, or a moisture meter, to detect moisture in building materials, may be helpful in identifying hidden sources of fungal growth and the extent of water damage.
