Professional Mold Inspections in Jackson, MI
A mold inspection can help determine whether visible or suspected mold conditions require further investigation or remediation.
We evaluate problem areas for visible mold growth, water intrusion, elevated moisture, and other conditions that may contribute to mold development. Depending on the property and reason for the inspection, specialized equipment and laboratory sampling may also be used.
Mold inspections can be useful when you have noticed staining, recurring moisture, previous water damage, unusual growth on building materials, or other conditions that suggest a possible mold problem.
What We Look for During a Mold Inspection
Every property is different, so the inspection is based on the conditions found at the site rather than a one-size-fits-all checklist.
Our evaluation may include:
- Visible signs of mold growth
- Water-damaged building materials
- Areas of elevated moisture
- Evidence of leaks or water intrusion
- Humidity and temperature conditions
- Mold growth around walls, ceilings, flooring, or structural materials
- Conditions inside basements and crawl spaces
- Areas affected by past flooding or plumbing problems
- Locations where additional sampling may be appropriate
ALAM uses field equipment including moisture meters, infrared inspection equipment, and temperature and humidity instruments as part of its mold evaluation services.
Mold Testing & Sampling
Visual inspection can provide important information about the condition of a property, but there are situations where additional mold testing may be appropriate.
ALAM can collect environmental samples and submit them to a third-party accredited laboratory for analysis. Laboratory results can provide additional information about the mold present at the property and help guide recommendations for the next steps.
Depending on the conditions being evaluated, sampling may include:
Air Sampling
Air samples can be collected when additional information about airborne mold is needed.
Surface & Swab Sampling
Samples can be collected directly from surfaces where suspected mold growth or contamination is present.
Bulk Sampling
A portion of an affected material may be collected for laboratory analysis when appropriate.
Dust Sampling
Dust samples may be used when conditions call for additional environmental evaluation.
The type and number of samples needed will depend on the property and what is discovered during the inspection.
Our Mold Inspection & Testing Process
1. Discuss the Property and Areas of Concern
We begin by learning what you have observed and whether the property has experienced leaks, flooding, moisture intrusion, previous mold problems, or other conditions that may be contributing to the issue.
2. Perform a Visual Assessment
We inspect the areas of concern for visible growth, water damage, moisture conditions, and other signs that may indicate a mold problem.
3. Evaluate Moisture Conditions
Moisture meters, infrared inspection equipment, and temperature and humidity measurements may be used to help locate conditions that are contributing to mold growth.
4. Collect Samples When Needed
If additional testing is appropriate, samples can be collected from the property. The specific sampling method depends on the conditions being investigated.
5. Laboratory Analysis
Collected samples are submitted to a third-party accredited analytical laboratory for analysis.
6. Report & Recommendations
For paid sampling services, ALAM can provide a report documenting environmental information, laboratory findings, and recommendations based on the results.
Free Visual Mold Assessment
ALAM offers a free on-site visual mold assessment to evaluate visible conditions and help identify a probable source of mold contamination or water intrusion. Photos may also be used to document areas of concern.
If laboratory sampling or a more detailed report is needed, those services are available for a fee.
When Should You Consider Mold Testing?
Mold testing may be useful when additional information is needed beyond what can be determined through a visual assessment.
Common situations include:
- Mold is suspected but the extent is unclear
- A property has experienced previous water damage
- Moisture problems continue to return
- Suspected growth is present in multiple areas
- Documentation of existing conditions is needed
- The type of suspected mold needs laboratory analysis
- Additional information is needed before determining the appropriate next step
Not every mold problem requires the same type of testing. We evaluate the property first and determine what services are appropriate based on the conditions present.
Residential Mold Inspection & Testing
Mold and moisture problems can occur in basements, crawl spaces, bathrooms, attics, kitchens, wall cavities, and other areas affected by leaks or elevated humidity.
We provide residential mold inspections to help homeowners better understand the conditions within their property and determine whether additional testing or remediation should be considered.
Commercial & Industrial Mold Inspections
ALAM also provides mold inspection and testing for commercial and industrial properties.
We work with property owners, facility managers, contractors, and other professionals to evaluate suspected mold and moisture conditions and provide useful documentation when testing is performed.
What Happens if Mold Is Found?
An inspection identifies the problem. Remediation addresses it.
If the inspection determines that mold remediation or removal is needed, ALAM can provide professional remediation services that include containment, HEPA filtration, removal of affected materials when necessary, cleaning, and treatment of impacted areas.
