Do You Need Mold Testing?
We believe testing for mold is NOT necessary when there are VISIBLE signs of mold growth. This approach is verified by the EPA. If mold is visible, it should be safely removed and you should handle all visible mold assuming it is toxic. Any other recommendation is a greedy and unnecessary scheme. It is irrelevant to test the type of mold or the spore count when the decision for remediation has already occurred.However, we DO recommend testing in situations where there is not any visible mold, yet there is an odor or the occupants have reoccurring health issues. Also, we advise post-testing after a remediation project has been completed. This ensures that all mold has been properly removed with no spores have become airborne. Verifying that mold counts are within a safe range after remediation is our highest priority and it also confirms the quality of our work. For us, we want to know that mold counts are low and within a safe range before we leave your property. Therefore, we will be performing our own post-tests after every job.
