Mold Assessment Report
Mold remediation restore the house to
livable conditions and improves
health. Initial mold reports indicate sources of of moisture
and extent
of mold contamination. After mold cleanup is complete, mold clearance
inspections show the mold problem has been corrected.
Mold reports should be provided after each mold assessment:
initial mold inspection and clearance testing. The technical
part of the report should have two major components: findings and mold
test
results. Mold Assessment
Findings
Home InSight's mold inspection findings
include the background for the investigation, mold inspection goals,
moisture issues found, an analysis, and recommendations to appropriate
professionals Background. This section documents the reason the
mold inspection was requested, along with any relevant
history. Mold Assessment Goals.
This section describes the mold sampling strategy used to meet client
objectives.
Moisture Issues
Found. Stopping water or moisture is priority
one! Continuing to mold remediation is pointless without
it. There are usually more than one factors contributing to
the presence of mold. The factors are described
here. Mold Test Summary. A
broad statement of the lab results is provided, indicating the
acceptability of airborne mold levels and presence of certain kinds of
mold. A detail discussion on mold testing is found later in
the report.
Assessment
Analysis. Moisture control is a home performance
issues. It takes all the systems and subsystems of the house
as well as appropriate resident behavior to manage water and effectively
handle moisture vapor. All the moisture issues and
environmental conditions are considered together to conclude why the
moisture conditions are able to support mold
growth.
Recommendations. There are three types of
professional recommendations: contractors, remediators, and health
professionals. Each recommendation as 3 parts: the concern,
why it matters, and which professional can address the
situation. Laboratory Results of Mold
Testing
Mold testing is
done according to laboratories, who establish strict protocols to follow
when taking them. The laboratory then analyzes the samples to
determine the type of mold present. In the case of air
samples, they also determine quantities of mold spores.
Airborne Mold Levels. In the
case of air samples, the laboratory establishes criteria to determine
whether "unusual" or "acceptable" mold conditions exist for most
people. Either mold levels are acceptable or they're
not. The laboratory makes the
determination. Mold Type
Description. For each sample, a list of all mold types are
presented. For each type, the normal places to find it is
indicated along with health effects, if
any. Professional Interpretation. The
laboratory documents everything it finds in a mold test
sample. A Certified Mold Inspector or Industrial Hygienist
extracts information from it for the purposes of the
assessment.
Home InSight looks for hazardous mold
types. Other types of debris are ignored, however, the entire
lab report is provided for each test for interpretation by other mold
professionals. More
