Mold Testing
Clean and Green is proud to announce that we are now offering Mold Testing in addition to our Mold Remediation services. Pre-testing can determine the types and levels of spores in the air. Post -testing provides confirmation that the project has been satisfactorily remediated and that contamination has not spread to other areas.
Air Sampling determines the type and amount of airborne contamination in a building. Air sampling may be necessary if the presence of mold, allergens, or toxins is suspected (e.g.: musty odors, allergies) but cannot be identified by a visual inspection. When air sampling is performed, both the indoor air and outdoor air are sampled, so the results can be compared to see if a problem exists. Typically, the indoor sample is taken while the heating and/or air conditioning unit is operating; this will ensure the interior air is effectively tested.
Tape/Swab Samples are usually collected from visible moldy surfaces by wiping the area with a sterile swab. This type of sampling is used to identify specific mold types.
Recommendations and Laboratory Results: Once the home has a visual inspection and the mold circumstance evaluated, action can be planned to clean it up and prevent future contamination. Based upon site evaluations and sampling lab analysis results, we can provide a detailed protocol for remediation. In all situations, if mold exists, the underlying cause of the water damage must be corrected.
