Mold testing on property that has a mold issue can offer some beneficial information, even if there is visible mold. It can give some insight into whether the visible mold is causing an indoor air quality issue and just how high the levels might be. Also if you plan on using insurance to cover the work, it is definitely recommended. Many insurance companies will not cover any work that is done to remediate mold without a pre and post-test.

If you have never had mold testing done before, you may be wondering how it works. The first step is finding a reputable company to do the testing for you. Make sure they are properly certified and have experience with the type of mold that is present in your home.

Once you have found a company, they will send someone out to take samples of the air and surfaces in your home. These samples will be sent to a lab for analysis. The results of the mold testing can take a few days to come back, but it is important to get them as soon as possible.

The results of the mold testing will tell you the levels of mold spores present in your home, as well as what type of mold it is. This information can be used to determine if the visible mold is causing an air quality issue and just how high the levels might be. If you plan on using insurance to cover the work, it is definitely recommended. Many insurance companies will not cover any work that is done to remediate mold without a pre and post-test.

At the same time, most people are usually asking this question because mold testing costs money and they are weighing whether or not they want to pay for it. To that, we typically say if you have visible mold, you can usually go directly into the mold removal and remediation process. Regardless of what type of mold or the levels, we will be using the same abatement process. However, we always recommend clearance testing to verify the work has been completed and safe to reoccupy an area.

If you have visible mold growth in your home or office, the first step is to contact a professional mold removal and remediation company. Many people try to remove mold themselves, but this is not always the best option. Mold can be difficult to remove and if not done correctly, can lead to further issues down the road. A professional company will have the proper equipment and expertise to remove mold quickly and safely.

Once the mold has been removed, it is important to take steps to prevent future growth. This may include fixing any leaks or moisture issues in the home or office, increasing ventilation, and using anti-mold products. Taking these steps will help to ensure that mold does not return and cause further damage to your property.
