What We Do:
Our inspectors are IAC2-certified and experts in mold testing and evaluation. We conduct thorough mold inspections that start with a detailed visual examination of the property to identify moisture concerns, which are the root cause of mold growth. During the inspection, we measure moisture levels, humidity, and temperature to evaluate the conditions contributing to mold development.
If visible mold is detected, we collect samples and send them to our partner laboratories for analysis to determine the specific type of mold present. This is crucial for understanding the risks and taking appropriate steps for removal and prevention.
Why Mold Inspections Matter:
Mold Inspection & Testing: A Crucial Addition to Your Home Inspection
Mold can be lurking in your home, causing health issues without you even realizing it. New Jersey excludes mold testing from the state’s Home Inspection Standards of Practice, which makes it crucial to add mold testing to any home inspection for a complete assessment of your property’s health and safety.
At Heartland Home Inspections, we provide thorough mold testing and indoor air quality assessments. Unlike companies that also offer remediation services, we strictly focus on testing. This eliminates any conflict of interest, ensuring you get unbiased results without the pressure of being sold costly remediation work.
When Should You Consider Mold Testing?
- You detect a musty odor but see no visible mold.
- The property has experienced water-related issues, such as leaks or flooding.
- You or someone in your home has unexplained respiratory symptoms, like coughing or sneezing.
- You want a comprehensive indoor air quality assessment.
- During a real estate transaction, to safeguard your investment.
Why Professional Mold Testing Matters
DIY mold testing kits may seem like an easy fix, but they are often inaccurate. Mold spores exist naturally in the environment, and these kits can fail to measure harmful concentrations or locate the source of the mold. Professional testing, on the other hand, can precisely assess mold levels and identify problem areas, allowing you to take proper steps to protect your home and health.
Protect Your Health & Property
Mold growth, if unchecked, can not only degrade your indoor air quality but also cause significant damage to the structure of your home. Our certified inspectors follow a meticulous process, taking air and surface samples to ensure you get a complete picture of your home’s condition.
Choose Heartland Home Inspections for mold testing, and rest easy knowing you’ve taken the extra step to protect your home and loved ones from unseen dangers.
