What is Mold?

Mold is a fungus and is nature's way of recycling or biodegrading organic materials back into the earth. Residential and commercial structures are mainly exposed to mold growth caused by natural damage and damage that happens through accidents due to sewage or flooding disasters.

How do you determine if the building you live in or work in requires mold inspection? Remember that it's typical to find fungi in various environments, but mold growth in buildings occurs when temperature, moisture, and construction materials align and cause problems. A few types of molds will flourish in such conditions, and it is essential to handle them with a mold inspection and testing.

Further, mold growth can look unpleasant, but it can cause structural building problems if it is not handled properly. It can also cause concerns with indoor air quality and, in worst-case scenarios, create serious health conditions for people exposed to it for long periods and without any proper protection.

How Can You Prevent Mold Appearance and Exposure?

You can clean small areas of mold yourself. However, the result will depend on different factors such as how extensive the mold problem is, what belongings, furnishings, and materials are affected, where the mold is located, and whether or not you mind being in confined spaces like your attic, basement, or crawlspace.

The only problem with this DIY mold prevention is that you're not guaranteed successful removal. Mold is a fungus. While not the same as plants, molds still have roots, burrowing deep into porous surfaces. Thus, it will return if not handled properly. Don't waste your time and effort, and just call our professional mold specialists at Feet Up Carpet Cleaning of Clifton.

Our Mold Testing Approach

When conducting mold testing and inspection, we will give our most attention to such parts of your property as kitchen, bathroom, basement, attic, the HVAC system in the house, walls, roofs, etc.

• Visual Inspection: The first step in mold testing is the onsite inspection of your affected area to estimate the extent of damage caused by mold. Visual inspection also involves checking the house for possible leaks and signs of previous water damage.
• Moisture Mapping: Our mold testing and inspection expert will perform moisture mapping using the necessary tools and equipment. Moisture mapping involves inspecting the house to check for areas where the building materials are affected by moisture.
• Air Sampling and Surface Sampling: After visual inspection, our mold testing specialist will run air sampling to gather more data about mold spores that are not visible. Surface sampling involves swabbing surfaces where molds are visibly present to collect samples.
• Lab Analysis: The air samples and surface samples collected are sent to the laboratory for further analysis and test for mold toxicity. This is an independent laboratory, for completely unbiased results.
• Mold Remediation Protocol: Based on the results of the laboratory results and the findings of the visual inspection, our mold experts will create a mold remediation protocol to spell out exactly what needs to be done to bring your property back to normal. Mold remediation involves all the processes involved in getting rid of mold from mold-infected areas using specialized equipment and techniques. Further surface treatments such as coating can also be applied to affected surfaces to prevent future occurrence.
