The Mold Inspection Process in Long Island

If you are in Massapequa, our technician will follow a comprehensive five-point inspection procedure. We take samples of the air to see whether or not there are traces of mold present. Surface swabs are also taken for the same reason. The technician will identify areas where water might
potentially have seeped in and take non-invasive measurements of the moisture level. All specimens of mold sources are photographed to be affixed to the official Chain of Custody attachment. This is done to ensure that you have proof of the results that will stand as legal
evidence in court if necessary. Particles counters are used inside the home and outside to determine whether the level of negative particles inside is elevated or not. Our infrared imagers allow our technician to check for mold that could be growing behind your walls, without causing any damage to the walls. Our technicians use moisture readers to see whether or not any of the materials in your home have sustained moisture damage.

We won’t keep you on tenterhooks for the results either – you will receive a comprehensive report along with the results from the testing within two to three business days. We will let you know whether or not your home has a mold problem, how bad the problem is, how to go about removing the mold and how to prevent a recurrence of the problem. You will receive copies of all the pictures taken and scanned images as well. This report will leave you in no doubt where you stand and give you the best options for recovery.

How to Get Rid of Mold

Mold can be difficult to get rid of. Even if you have removed all traces of it, and applied a chemical treatment, you could have spores in the air or spores that have spread elsewhere due to the moisture content. Mold is not fussy about its living conditions – as long as it has a moisture source, it is quite happy to spread. Some forms are harmless. Most are not. They can cause serious respiratory tract infections and even death in small children and the frail. It is not something you want to mess with. And it is something that you should get professional help with. We will come in and help you get rid of the mold that could slowly be making your house unlivable. With many years of experience in the industry, and certified, professional technicians, we can help to make your home safe forever. We start off by repairing potential problem sources, such as pipes that are leaking or basements that have a water problem. We work at removing the cause of the mold and also the mold itself.
Mold remediation without identifying the initial source of the problem is not a good solution. Once the source of the mold has been determined, and that potential risk eliminated, we will remove any mold that we have found. We then work to ensure that the areas are completely moisture-free so that the mold cannot regain a foothold. If the mold problem is still in a very early phase, we will help you to deal with it.
