Reasons for Brentwood Residential Mold Evaluation
Your discovery of mold organisms growing in your home and sharing the fungi’s location with the responding experts is usually enough to give a reputable mold remediation company a solid start in containing and removing the offending colonies. LightSpeed Restoration of West Nashville technicians swiftly begin working to remove moldy debris after containing the affected spaces and use appropriate and effective antimicrobials to inhibit reinfestation using the standards protocol developed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Mold Interventions Without Formal Inspection
Following the protocol, our crews explore nearby surfaces for involvement and extend cleanup efforts to damaged structures and contents. Sometimes, your situation demands a more methodical approach before remediation begins or after we clear mold from one area. Our training and experience might lead us to believe or wonder if a more extensive mold invasion is present. Various rationales support your choice to engage our professionals to provide proactive mold inspection services in Brentwood at any point in a mold damage recovery project. Consider the following scenarios.
Real Estate Sales or Tenancies
During negotiations for the sale or rental of any type of residence, individuals wanting to buy or rent often want the assurance that the building or unit is free from active mold growth and damage. An inspection can affirm that there is no evidence of a mold problem.
Sometimes mold testing is preferred or added; remember that testing is only a snapshot of the conditions and spore levels during the test. If, for example, windows are open and people are tramping in and out, spores can blow through or hitch a ride without ever encountering the moisture needed for an outbreak. Spores are always around to be “caught” during a test, but mold germination, growth, and damage need confirmation through visual inspections.
Expert Determination of Mold Presence
You might see a stain or debris you cannot rule out as mold growth. LightSpeed of West Nashville mold inspectors provide the data needed to drive the remediation steps.
-
They note and evaluate the condition of the building materials, deciding if marks and residues are molds or merely dirt.
-
Similarly, previously undetected water damage, causing wet or damp areas, could be havens for mold colonies or just require drying.
-
Our technicians use sensitive detection and metering devices to identify moisture migration pathways that can also host most growth.
-
Moisture migration requires professional action to further explore and eliminate the water sources before structural drying.
-
Mold thrives in hidden areas, especially building cavities, and may require controlled demolition strategies to expose it and allow appropriate remediation to occur.
Smells and Unexplained Respiratory Issues
Sometimes, a Brentwood homeowner does not have a visual marker to share with mold remediation specialists, instead having the uneasy feeling something is wrong because of musty odors or family members suffering from persistent adverse respiratory symptoms from unknown causes. Our team might use a combination of mold inspection and testing to track down where the potential mold growth is fomenting, including inspecting HVAC systems and ductwork, planning how to reach and manage the moisture feeding the spores, and using the EPA protocol to remove the colonies.
