       Inspection services​
Get your home checked for moisture intrusion and signs of mold to prevent structural damage, poor indoor air quality, and negative health effects.​

Main Goals Of Inspection

Brockville Mold Removal inspector will meet with you at your home or business and do a complete visual inspection. Being that mold problems come from excess moisture, we have various moisture detection tools to help locate sources of the problem.

After the initial check is complete we will perform mold testing to check the air quality levels of mold at the property. This allow us to get a better idea of how severe the colonization is and through the results we can pin point where the mold is most concentrated.

Often where the highest concentration of mold occurs is the source of the mold itself. Moisture detection is often very accurate in determining the source of mold but if there is no visible mold, in-wall tests are necessary to confirm the problem.

​BROCKVILLE MOLD REMOVAL will help you create a plan for eliminating mold and making sure it stays gone in the future.

​Health Effects from Mold Growth
There are indoor mold species that are allergenic and there are mold species that can be extremely toxic.

Some molds cause allergic reactions including hypersensitivity pneumonitis, allergic rhinitus, asthma, sneezing, watery eyes, coughing, shortness of breath, dizziness, lethargy, and fever. Certain mold produce toxins (mycotoxins) as a by-product of living.

These so called ‘toxigenic’ mold can cause digestive problems, joint problems, lung damage, ocular disease, ear infections, and some species are considered carcinogenic.

​Mold spores that have become non-viable (dead) due to the fact that they have dried out or have been killed by bleach or a biocide retain their mycotoxins. Dead mold spores when inhaled can cause the same health issues and allergic reactions as living mold spores.



Mold Inspection
​Spore traps, such as Air-O-Cell or Allergenco cassettes, that measure total counts of spores per cubic meter for viable and non-viable mold spores should also be lower indoors compared to outdoors.

​Total spore counts indoors can be in the range of 2000 counts or lower as long as outdoor levels are within this range. Spore trap results are considered ‘Amplified’ when indoor results are 3 to 5 times higher than outdoor levels for individual genus. Overall concentration or severity of outdoor levels should also be considered.
​How Does Mold Start?
Wet building materials and contaminated air conditioning systems can become breeding grounds for bacteria and fungi (mold). There are an estimated 250,000 species of fungi with approximately 1,000 species categorized as indoor mold.

Roof leaks, foundations cracks, plumbing leaks, appliance overflows, condensation as well as high relative humidity can introduce unwanted excessive moisture into a building.

​Cellulose building materials such as insulation, wood building products, carpeting, drywall, wallpaper, fabrics, dust, etc. will support mold growth if the conditions are right. “If you water it…it will grow”. Any water event must be properly cleaned up within 24-48 hours to avoid mold growth.

​Children, the elderly and people with compromised immune systems are particularly susceptible to these contaminants. Exposure to mold can occur through skin contact, inhalation or ingestion of mold spores and fragments.
​
Mold Air Testing
Buildings that do not have a source for mold growth will typically show similar or lesser counts and types (genus/species) of mold spores indoors compared to outdoor levels.

Buildings that do have a source of indoor mold growth typically show higher counts of spores as well as mold spore types (genus and/or species) that are not represented in the outdoor sample.

​(In this case levels are considered to be amplified over outdoor levels). Amplification for viable mold spores in many cases should be a few hundred colony forming units (CFU) higher than outside levels for there to be any significant growth. CFU counts below 200 CFU/cubic meter usually do not elicit health effects in healthy individuals.
