Molds are a result of moist or humid indoor environments. They affect the health of the homes occupants and also damage the building and furniture. Molds can be found in your home, school, or office. Mold can diminish your health as well as decrease your property value. People with weak immune systems may face terrible health problems such as systemic fungal infection (fungal infections in the body). However, with regular cleaning and home inspections, good luck, and rapid repair and professional drying of water leaks anywhere in or near the house you might keep molds far away from you. When you experience the trouble with mold returning after trying to get rid of it, it is advisable to hand it to an expert hand that possesses skill in diagnosing your building. They will know the reasons why the mold is so happy in your home. This is best done by selecting a mold inspection and testing firm that will suggest an appropriate remedy. However, before scheduling with a mold testing company, there are few essential things to be considered. 1) First, you should ask a certified mold inspector from a professional mold inspection firm to do a detailed test and to inspect not only the mold but also the building. Your mold inspector should be well versed with roofing, plumbing, vapor barriers, wall waterproofing, AC systems, building pressure, and wall structure. He or she should be able to analyze any unusual failures in the building that have resulted in moisture and mold problems. 2) Secondly, a mold inspection firm that you have selected should look for humidity problems, dew point, temperature, air and its influence. Comprehending the relation of these features is very important in places like Miami, Ft Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, Florida, and the South Eastern United States, as well as any tropical or sub tropical region of the world. These as well as all other tropical environments around the world experience a distinct hot humid climate. In fact, South Florida faces mold problems frequently owing to AC system failures and defects that even AC service persons routinely overlook. You should check if the inspector coming to diagnose is aware of scientific principles such as psychometrics because such an understanding is essential to getting to the root of your mold problem. 3) Third, your inspector should possess a basic knowledge of ecological and biological principles relating to microbiology. This will help in understanding molds' tricks, habits, and hiding places indoors and its relation to health complaints. 4) Fourth, your mold inspector must be accustomed to heating ventilation and air conditioning system inspections. Numerous mold problems are correlated to leakage or contamination problems. Generally, AC supply plenums and dirty blower fans and coils are the common places for mold growth. 5) Fifth, your inspector should be experienced in sampling mold and analyzing these samples directly under the microscope, or should interpret the results given by the lab analysis of these samples. However, more than spore analysis, his version and insight after properly analyzing the building and its defects carry more weight than knowing the names and numbers of spores in your home or office. So he should investigate with patience and arrive at conclusions regarding the big picture. 6) Sixth, your mold inspector should give a detailed inspection report that facilitates getting proper information to your doctor. If possible, he might even facilitate getting proper and fair treatment from your insurance company as well, however this is the job of a public adjuster. Finally, a comprehensive mold test report should give guidance to your mold removal firm also known as a remediation firm as to how to properly remediate the mold problem. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Daryl Watters is president of A Accredited Mold Inspection Service, Inc.
