Mold spores can only be identified after mold testing if there are any mold spores in the air. Diseases associated with mold are very hard to diagnose (especially black mold, because it can lead even to fatal consequences for humans).
New Jersey mold remediation is a professional team of mold experts. We provide a full range of hi-quality mold services, including mold testing, mold removal (black mold removal), and mold remediation.
As most of us spend almost 75-90% of our time indoors (home, office, school, etc.), indoor air quality plays a major role in our lives. Temperature, humidity, water penetration, and food source promote growth of molds/fungi. Moisture and poorly ventilated areas are main reasons for mold growth. Fungi, in general, also produce a wide range of volatile organic compounds (VOC) characterized by musty or moldy odors that people associate with fungal growth in a building. If mold can be seen or smelled, it is a problem.
Mold testing is important because mold can cause a variety of health problems, including respiratory infections, allergies, and skin irritation. If you suspect that your home or office has a mold problem, it is important to have the area tested by a professional. Mold testing can help identify the type of mold present and the extent of the problem.
Mold samples will be analyzed by an independent and recognized third party laboratory. NJ-Mold Remediation has the necessary equipment and expertise to do air or surface sampling/testing. To determine whether microbial growth is present, a mold/fungal assessment will be performed. The types and amounts of mold will be identified upon mold testing.
The mold assessment will include the collection of tape samples to determine the presence or absence of mold/fungus on a surface or substrate and identification of the type and amount of mold/fungus present. Air sampling is done to determine the amount of airborne mold/fungal spores. Tape and air samples will be submitted to an independent laboratory certified by the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) to determine the presence or absence of fungal growth/contamination.
Visual mold inspection is the process of looking for mold growth and spores in a building. It is usually done by a trained inspector who uses special equipment to look for mold. The inspection can be used to find hidden mold, to determine the extent of mold growth, and to identify the type of mold present.
Mold inspections a usually conducted in two steps. The first step is a visual inspection, which is done with the naked eye. The inspector will look for signs of mold growth, such as discoloration, staining, or fuzzy growths. They will also look for obvious sources of moisture, such as leaks in walls or ceilings.
The second step is a physical inspection, which is done with special equipment. This step may involve taking samples of the air or surfaces for laboratory analysis. The inspector will also use moisture meters and thermal imaging cameras to look for hidden mold and moisture problems.
The source of water penetration will be identified and located before remediation work is started. Depending on the location and extent of the water damage, you may need to remove and dispose of some building materials, such as insulation, flooring or ceiling tiles. You may also need to drill holes or cut openings in walls, floors or ceilings to allow the drying equipment access to the wet materials.
This will include a detailed description of the work to be performed and the costs associated with the work. NJ-Mold is available to answer any questions on the scope of work.
Once the customer agrees to the scope of work, NJ-Mold will prepare the work area. This includes containment to seal off the work area. HEPA filtration units are placed in the enclosed area.
NJ-Mold adheres to New York and OSHA guidelines as the basis for remediation, planning, and implementation. We remove all compromised materials from the premises. Only proven, organically-safe enzymes are used in the remediation process. After the treatment is completed, the enzymes will evaporate without leaving any residue and, for a period of time, will form a protective barrier against future outbreaks.
We use verified safe enzymes in the remediation process. After the treatment is completed, the enzymes will evaporate without leaving any residue and, for a period of time, form a protective barrier against future outbreaks. We strive to protect the health of families and properties.
NJ-Mold will conduct Post Tests in the treated area to ensure that mold levels are no longer elevated and it is safe.
