When Should A Mold Inspection And Mold Testing Be Considered?

For all of human history, we have relied on our senses to warn us of danger, and keep us safe. In our modern day world, this still proves to be true. The first step in identifying a mold problem is generally a moldy smell. Never ignore mold odors, even if you can’t see any mold. It is important to thoroughly inspect your home before any existing mold problems get worse. A mold inspection and mold test can reveal whether there is an elevated mold level, and where it is located in your house. Although most of the time you won’t see the existing mold, your body’s symptoms may reveal you have a problem. Many cases have happened in which a patient has a health issue that they do not know the cause of but seems to be related to mold symptoms (headaches, coughing, sneezing, etc). This will often be associated with being in a certain room. A mold inspection and test may help to confirm suspicions that a mold problem exists, and the problem can be quickly fixed to ensure you don’t experience further health problems.

On the other hand, if visible mold growth is present, sampling is unnecessary, and you just need to get it cleaned by a mold professional. However, surface sampling may be useful to determine if an area has been adequately cleaned or remediated after a mold problem has been inspected and fixed. In any case, sampling for mold should be conducted by professionals who have experience in sampling methods and interpreting any results. Schedule your Mold Inspection Louisiana Today!

“This was my first time having an inspection done . Andy was very thorough and took the extra time to make sure I knew everything he found and also provided suggestions on keeping up the value of the home. I’d would recommend using Acadiana Home Inspectors to anyone needing an inspection. I will definitely be using their company again for future inspections.” – Review of Acadiana Home Inspectors By Corey Taylor

Water problems have resulted in mold growth in a specific area, but that doesn’t mean you need a mold inspection. If, for example, a roof leak has resulted in moldy ceiling tiles, then fixing the roof leak and replacing the ceiling tiles may be all that is necessary. Often times, the solution is as simple as that. However, you should also consider testing for mold when there have been plumbing leaks or water issues and there is a suspicion that elevated mold may exist in the air and/or behind walls.

If your house has previously been affected by mold, it may be wise to verify that all sources of mold inspectionmoisture have been successfully stopped and that no residual mold growth has been left after a known water and mold problem has been fixed. On this note, if you are planning on renting or purchasing a new home, it is important to get a mold inspection to confirm that there is not an existing moisture or mold problem.
