The first step in the mold inspection and mold testing procedure is to look over your El Segundo residence carefully for visible signs of mold or mildew on walls, ceilings, and in areas that may not be seen readily, such as under cabinets, in crawl spaces and in your basement. During this time our inspector will use a digital moisture meter that will aid in determining moisture levels on various materials and hidden moisture problems. Utilizing an infrared-calibrated digital camera allows our inspector to capture problematic areas that the eye cannot see, such as moisture intrusion, water damage, pipes with a slow leak and other areas of the property that may be an indicator of mold presence.

If mold is detected, our professionals will perform mold testing of the suspect area where it was found in order to identify its type. The samples are sent to an accredited third-party laboratory for analysis. This surface mold testing can provide a great deal of information for the inspector and help determine the severity of the issue.

Our professionals will also perform Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) testing to which will determine the levels of mold that may be affecting your health. The process includes air quality measurements of the indoor and outdoor environments. Conducting both tests will determine if your property has elevated levels.

While some mold types simply cause allergic reactions, others have more serious effects on our health. Mycotoxins are byproducts of mold that are considered to be poisonous and in most cases toxic. These can become airborne and cause serious health problems for those that are exposed, particularly over a long period of time. Our mold testing will determine if mold is present in your breathable air and what type of action should be taken to clean up the problem, if necessary.
