The mold inspection itself involves finding the mold, the cause of the growth and where it is found. In the past, there have been several types of molds that have been found, but there is no longer a common cause for the growth. Today, molds can be found worldwide, though most seem to originate in the Southeast United States. The mold cannot be eradicated and may return within the first months after the removal. A mold inspection is often done at least annually and the results are reported to the property owner on a form. If there is active mold, then it will be found in the photos and reports, as well as in the inspection report. The mold inspection process typically takes several hours to complete.
The mold inspection covers the entire property, from the basement to the attic. During the inspection, it is important to look for small pockets of wetness that are noticeable through the plaster of the house. If there is moisture below the plaster, it may be found in the baseboard or in some places in the walls. In addition, if there is heavy use of light fixtures in the basement, moisture may be found in them.
During the mold inspection, the property owner may find molds in the walls. During the mold inspection, it is important to go around the property, particularly in the basement, attic and crawl space, checking upholstery, floorboards, baseboards, wall joints and other places that may contain the mold. During the inspection, the mold inspector will also see some signs of water damage to the property.
For a mold inspection to be effective, it is necessary for the property owner to take all precautions necessary to prevent a return of the mold. One of these precautions is to never fix anything that is rotted and in need of repair. Never touch anything inside or touch anything that is covered with tarps. The tarps are effective because they prevent the spread of the mold but when people go into the basement or attic, they leave tarps on the infected items that will eventually get wet. Therefore, when the mold returns, it will have a chance to spread.
