Testing and Inspecting for Mold

As previously stated there are specific situations in which it is necessary to conduct a mold inspection and testing. However, they should always be done by professional mold inspections companies in West Palm rather than doing the inspection yourself or buying a cheap mold test at a local store that will leave you with nothing but a feeling that you just wasted your hard earn money.

Why is it irrelevant to test for mold if it is already visible? Well, it’s simple, dealing with mold is a very complex and expensive task, one that could take a while to finish, we are in the business of inspecting/removing mold, but we are also in the business of making our customers happy, and by skipping the inspection if you can see the mold you will be saving yourself some money. Remember, after the remediation process is finished and your home is mold-free you may need to repair certain areas like putting up new drywall or new carpeting which can generate additional expenses.

Many of the customers that call us are already aware of the existence of mold in their homes and rather than an inspection they request for full-on testing to determine which type of mold it is if it is toxic and other important characteristics. While other companies will charge you pretty steep fees for an inspection, we prefer to get down to business, and if mold is visible skip directly to the testing and the removal ASAP before our customers begin to suffer from mold-related symptoms.

Our industry has made it a habit to refer to all types of mold as “black mold” creating certain panic amongst homeowners suffering from a mold infestation. The truth of the matter is that black mold isn’t always responsible for our problems, surely, this is the most toxic type of mold, but it isn’t always the one that invades our home, which is why it is of the utmost importance once you have detected your mold problem to request a test from one of our mold inspectors in Boca Raton.

Although testing is important to determine the levels of toxicity of the mold invading our homes and the potential health risks with might have been submitted to for months when it comes about removing the mold, testing is hardly ever important, removing mold does not vary depending on the mold, the removal works on a unifying principle which applies to all types of mold.

All mold inspection companies in Palm Beach County in compliance with the guidelines established by the Environmental Protection Agency knows that when the mold is visible neither an inspection nor testing is required, instead, companies have to move on directly to the removal process preventing that the customers suffer from a prolonged exposure to the mold which can result in threatening life-long illnesses.
