Attic Mold Testing and Inspection​

If you are worried about mold in your attic, having mold testing and inspection performed is the starting point for any suspected mold-related issue. Without mold testing, there’s no way to determine how bad your mold problem is accurately – or if one exists at all. Your attic mold inspection will allow us to determine if you have mold, how bad it is, how to properly get rid of it and how to prevent it from returning with mold remediation solutions. If you suspect you have mold in your home attic or are concerned about black mold or toxic mold, get in touch with attic inspection companies such as Lamunyon Dry Out & Foundation Repair.

We offer indoor air quality laboratory testing and will come take air samples to determine if your indoor mold spore levels are higher than they should be. Air testing will provide the necessary answers to your mold-related questions. If we determine that you have unsafe levels of mold in your attic, we will recommend mold remediation services to remove and help prevent the future growth of mold.

What to expect from your Attic Mold Inspection:

Attic mold can be a serious problem, leading to health issues and decreased indoor air quality. That’s why it’s essential to schedule attic home inspection with a professional attic inspection company. During an attic mold inspection, the inspector will visually examine the attic space for signs of mold growth, identify the cause of the mold, and recommend a course of action to address the problem. With a thorough attic mold inspection service, you can gain peace of mind knowing that your home is safe and healthy for you and your family.

1. Visual Inspection

A thorough visual inspection is the starting point for every residential or commercial mold assessment. Your mold specialist will be looking for conditions that promote mold growth.

2. Digital Documentation

Documenting our findings through digital imaging is the easiest way for your mold specialist to relay their findings. We’ll take pictures of all the areas of concern so you see exactly what we saw during your attic mold evaluation.

3. Thermal Imaging

Thermal imaging cameras (or infrared cameras) allow us to detect temperature differences in, and sometimes behind building materials. Why is this important? Because damp or wet building materials are almost always cooler than dry materials – and it’s the temperature difference that the infrared camera detects. This is an invaluable tool in the detection of moisture sources that cause mold growth.

4. Moisture Mapping

Since mold needs moisture to develop and thrive, finding that source of moisture is very important. Moisture mapping basically allows us to locate building materials that are damp or wet enough to support mold growth. Testing for moisture also helps us determine if water leaks have been resolved or if they are actively leaking and can locate where water damage starts and stops.

5. Mold Evaluation Summary

Shortly after your attic mold evaluation, your specialist will compile all of their findings and generate an easy to understand mold evaluation synopsis and scope of work.

6. Scope of Work

In conjunction with your mold evaluation synopsis, your mold specialist will design a mold remediation plan specific to your property. Your scope of work will include cleanup protocol as well as preventative solutions that are necessary to keep mold from returning.

7. Post Remediation Testing (if stated in scope of work)

Also referred to as clearance testing. This a specific type of mold testing performed after the remediation is complete. Since we’re removing a biohazard, it’s important to know that the job was done right – the first time. Clearance testing shows that cleanup efforts were successful.

Lamunyon Dry Out & Foundation Repair is certified to perform attic mold inspections and mold testing. If you need mold inspection services, then we will be able to help with an effective and safe approach for other areas as well, such as crawl space mold testing and basement mold testing.

Additional Attic Mold Testing Offered

When it comes to mold, prevention is always better than cure. If you’re unsure whether mold is present in your attic, it is best to get attic mold testing done at your property. Here are some additional attic mold testing services to identify the presence of mold in your attic. Our experts will conduct a thorough mold in attic home inspection to determine the severity of the mold growth and recommend appropriate solutions.

1. Airborne and/or Surface Mold Testing

Your mold specialist may suggest taking air samples to determine if your indoor mold spore levels are higher than they should be. Is it just water staining, or is it mold? Surface testing with mold swabs or bio tape lifts will answer those questions. In many cases, surface testing isn’t necessary if mold growth is visibly obvious

Air, swab, and tap lift testing are additional testing services we offer at an additional cost and only done upon request. Testing samples will be sent to a laboratory for analysis and a full report will be provided to you within a few business days. This report shows Elevated (Unacceptable) and Acceptable levels of all findings, as well as spore identification.

2. Inner Wall Mold Testing

When mold is suspected behind a wall or above a ceiling, those areas should be tested. Today’s mold testing technologies and techniques allow mold specialists to take air and surface samples from wall or ceiling voids easily with a very minimal intrusion. This testing will only be done upon request and accessibility is dependent upon material covering. We also offer attic mold remediation solutions for any mold that is shown in the tests.
