Mold Testing in Saginaw, MI

Throughout Michigan, mold is one of the largest indoor environmental concerns found in many homes, commercial building, and warehouses.  The main problem that causes mold build up is moisture issues.  Even a small amount of water that is nearly undetectable can cause massive problems.  There are many ways mold problems can start: roof leak, foundation leakage, high summer humidity, or a plumbing leak.  When any of these things happen, mold growth will almost immediately start in the indoor environment.

One of the largest any property owner makes is that they are able to visually detect any mold growing inside a property.  In reality, many mold growths are very well hidden inside the building.  These places that no one can see include inside wall insulation, crawl spaces, in basements, inside wall cavities, and behind the drywall.  Even if the homeowner is able to identify mold, the mold problems run much deeper than the eye can see. 

There are other times that we get phone calls about the smell presented by the mold, but the owner is not able to identify where the mold is coming from.  We also get phone calls about the other problems that mold can cause, like breathing problems, headaches, eye irritation, or coughing.  While mold can often be the issue with any of these, we also need to perform other testing to see if it's not just the mold but any other breathing irritation problem.

Our most testing process is designed to give the idea of what is happening inside the house.  Instead of just testing, we will begin by asking some questions about the history at the property, any water damages that have occurred, or any other items that might have contributed to the mold growth.  Understanding the buildings history will help us determine the type of mold, where it might be, and the type of solution to keep the mold from coming back.

After any type of water damage event, mold testing should be accomplished to make sure the water damage didn't lead to mold growth.  Before putting up the drywall to complete the project, call our testing team to test the area before the final touches are made. 

Most real estate transactions will require a mold test if there has been water problems in the past.  Buyers want an assurance that what they buy will not present them health problems in the future.  Sellers might also want verification for themselves that they are selling something that will not harm others.

To make sure that everyone understands the mold problem, we need to ensure that anyone living in or selling a property completely understands that mold growth is a significant problem in Michigan.  Our wet springs, downpour rainfall events in the summer, and the snow accumulations make mold growth an almost certainty in any home.  We would love the opportunity to test your property.

Our goal is to provide concrete and clear results regarding your indoor enviornment.  We will provide the tests, but we will also provide an explanation for the tests and a way to make sure the mold doesn't come back.  We want to make sure you and any future user of your property are safe from any mold problems.
