Your Mold Inspection
Anthem Services offers comprehensive mold inspections to pinpoint areas that may foster mold growth, verify visible mold through laboratory analysis, and assess if there are elevated spore levels within the property. Following mold remediation, our inspections ensure that elevated mold levels have been addressed and confirm that any water penetrations are no longer leaking and have been properly repaired.
In order to provide a comprehensive understanding of the condition of the property we:
​
-
Inspect all accessible areas for apparent mold
-
Sample all apparent mold by swab or tape sampling
-
Collect non-viable air samples in rooms with apparent mold
-
Inspect for water penetration and water leaks in all accessible areas
-
Check temperature and relative humidity in all levels of the home
-
Collect one exterior non-viable air samples to establish a baseline mold level
-
Collect at least one interior non-viable air sample in the most commonly used room
-
Use an infrared camera to find temperature fluctuations that can indicate moisture intrusion
-
use a moisture meter to verify and quantify any temperature fluctuations detected
- Create a formal report including areas of concern, readings of moisture, relative humidity and photo documentation as well as lab analysis for all samples collected
Mold sampling provides a snapshot of mold spore counts, which can be affected by various factors such as wind direction, temperature, season, and barometric pressure. While this inspection can identify the type and quantity of mold present, it is not intended for diagnosing medical conditions. Instead, it serves as a valuable tool for protecting your property from moisture damage and mold-related issues. For any medical concerns regarding mold exposure, please consult a medical professional.
IAC2 Decision Chart for When to Collect Samples
Anthem Services suggests having your entire home inspected for mold and areas that can contribute to mold growth. However, We do offer limited inspections of specific areas and testing of apparent mold growth. In a limited sampling we collect samples and inspect areas at the clients discretion. This inspection is suggested for testing apparent mold, and verifying that it is actively growing by collection of air samples or for clearing a specific area after remediation is complete. A limited inspection includes a lab report for any samples collected and a verbal report given at the time of inspection.
