Mold Inspections

If you see mold in your home, it is typically a symptom of an underlying problem. By scheduling an appointment for residential mold testing and inspection, you can find out how extensive the problem is and get a plan for remediation.

According to our expert mold inspectors, you should schedule a mold inspection in the following circumstances:

  • There is evidence of water damage.
  • You recently completed mold remediation.
  • You notice strange odors.
  • There is visible mold.
  • You or a family member is experiencing health complications.

Perhaps the most compelling reason to book a home mold inspection is for peace of mind. Further, if you are buying or selling your home, you may be required to inspect for mold.

Leaving mold unchecked can risk the health of your family and lead to further property damage. This is why we recommend regular home mold inspections by a qualified professional.

Mold Detection

Mold Remediation

Mold remediation is a multi-step process that involves home mold detection, mold removal, mold treatment, and a plan to prevent future growth. By fixing the underlying issue and having mold removed professionally, we can help create a long-lasting solution that stops mold in its tracks.

We use state-of-the-art equipment in all our mold remediation projects, including HEPA vacuums, short for high-efficiency particulate air. These vacuums can capture more than 99.9% of mold particles. When combined with our other mold remediation procedures, Coastal Inspections Testing has a stellar success rate.

Indoor Air Quality Testing

Because mold isn’t always visible, we often recommend that you test air quality inside your home to detect if there’s a potential problem. Indoor air quality testing can help identify the source and type of mold in your home, as well as how extensive it is.

Damp environments can be breeding grounds for mold, and this is a common occurrence in the New York area. Indoor air quality testing is a smart, proactive measure for homeowners and property managers concerned about health, comfort, and regulatory compliance.

IAQ Testing

Frequently Asked Questions

Q
What does mold smell like?
A

Some compounds produced by molds have strong smells and are volatile and quickly released into the air. These compounds are known as microbial volatile organic compounds (mVOCs). Because mVOCs often have strong or unpleasant odors, they can be the source of the “moldy odor” or musty smell frequently associated with mold growth. A moldy odor suggests that mold is growing in the building and should be investigated.

The health effects of inhaling mVOCs are largely unknown, although exposure to mVOCs has been linked to symptoms such as headaches, nasal irritation, dizziness, fatigue, and nausea.

Q
How do I get rid of mold?
A

It’s impossible to get rid of all mold and mold spores indoors, and some mold spores will be found floating through the air and in house dust. The mold spores will not grow if moisture is not present. Indoor mold growth can and should be prevented or controlled by controlling moisture indoors. If there is mold growth in your home, you must clean up the mold and fix the water problem. That is where Coastal Inspections Testing comes in. Contact us today to schedule an appointment for a mold inspection and assessment.

Q
What is the difference between Mold and Mildew?
A

Mildew refers to certain kinds of mold or fungus.  The term mildew is often used generically to refer to mold growth, usually with a flat growth habit.

Molds include all species of microscopic fungi that grow in the form of multicellular filaments, called hyphae. Molds can thrive on any organic matter, including clothing, leather, paper, and the ceilings, walls and floors of homes with moisture management problems. Mildew often lives on shower walls, windowsills, and other places where moisture levels are high. There are many species of molds. In unaired places, such as basements, they can produce a strong musty odor.
