Mold Testing and Inspections in Los Angeles and Orange County

Mold Testing Los Angeles

During the mold inspection, mold testing Orange County and Los Angeles technicians will check out your crawlspace, attic, bathroom and any other areas with visible mold to determine the source of the problem as well as identify, measure, and track hidden moisture and mold. After the mold inspection is done, we can begin the cleanup process.

During mold cleaning and the removal of mold contaminated materials, mold damage specialists are required for health reasons to wear personal protective equipment while working within the containment area. Depending on the size and severity of the job, this could include full face hepa respirators, gloves, and full body suits including foot coverings, with all gaps around the ankles and wrists sealed, to prevent them from tracking spores through the house when they leave.

Mold Damage Cleanup

Molds can grow on virtually any substance, as long as moisture or water, oxygen, and an organic source are present. Molds reproduce by creating tiny spores (viable seeds) that usually cannot be seen without magnification. Mold spores continually float through the indoor and outdoor air. Molds are usually not a problem unless mold spores land on a damp spot and begin growing. They digest whatever they land on in order to survive. There are molds that grow on wood, paper, carpet, foods, and insulation, while other molds feast on the everyday dust and dirt that gather in the moist regions of a building. When excessive moisture or water accumulates indoors, mold growth often will occur, particularly if the moisture problem remains uncorrected. Molds can cause adverse effects by producing allergens (substances that can cause allergic reactions). Potential health concerns are important reasons to prevent mold growth and to remediate existing problem areas.
