Do you suspect mold at your home or business in Tampa, Fort Myers, Naples, Longboat Key, Siesta Key, Sarasota, or the surrounding areas? Many times, people do not think they have mold, but with a mold assessment it is found that they do, in fact, have mold. At Building Performance Solutions, we can perform a mold assessment on your property to let you know if you have mold, as well as what kind of mold it is. Once you know if your property has mold, you can then take steps to remove it and keep it from coming back. Contact us today to learn more and schedule your mold assessment.
What is Involved in a Mold Assessment?
Having a mold assessment is a lot like having a home inspection. Things start with a visual inspection first to see if there is any glaring evidence of mold on the property. This will include looking at specific areas in more detail, but essentially reviewing the whole of the property. In areas where moisture is present, such as bathrooms, kitchens, and other areas where water is readily available, we will be checking for damage and areas where mold can form.
We will also take air samples from around the property. This is because mold spores are in the air, and if they are in higher concentrations in specific areas of the property, this can help to confirm that mold is present that needs to be dealt with. Finally, we will also do swabbing of surfaces to be tested. All these activities are designed to let us know what kinds of mold may be present, and allows us to make recommendations, if any, for remediation with the remediation provider of your choice.
Benefits of a Mold Assessment
If there is mold present at a property, knowing about it allows the property owner to do something about it. This provides a number of benefits, the first being that the indoor air quality will be improved as the mold removal also gets rid of the mold spores that will be in the air as the mold grows. The symptoms of mold exposure should also go away, such as headaches, itchy eyes and skin, sore throats, and more.
Whether you have owned your property for many years, or you are buying a new property, having a mold assessment from Building Performance Solutions is a good way to know if you have any issues that you may have to deal with.
