Mold Inspection Before Buying a House
Purchasing a home is not only exciting but a big expense. Unfortunately, if the levels of moisture within the house have been elevated, there is a potential for mold. Significant amounts of mold spores present in the air can affect the building materials and contents such as furniture and leather goods. The combination of moisture and cellulose based materials results in mold spores.
Aeris offers testing for mold in house to keep your family safe. The presence, type, origin and cause of the mold can be identified with a residential mold inspection. The key components include:
• Visually inspecting the property
• Surface sampling or ambient air sampling
• Microscope analysis
• Moisture survey for building materials
• Humidity and temperature logging
• Site documentation including photos
• Final report including observations, findings, remediation protocol and recommendations.
Home Air Quality Inspection
The best way to keep a home safe from mold is to be proactive. This includes performing routine residential indoor air quality testing such as organic compound testing, moisture intrusion surveys and mold assessments for the identification of any issues potentially affecting the occupants.
Discoloration and unusual odors in the home can be a sign of mold growth. Aeris offers Florida homeowners answers to important questions and troubleshooting before the issue can escalate. Mold testing services and inspections determine if there is mold present. Aeris then provides the guidance necessary for the next step.

Mold Testing Procedures
As professionals within the industry, Aeris follows specific steps to ensure the best outcome possible for every situation. The first step is determining if conditions for mold are present within the home. This is accomplished with testing procedures offering accurate results. The structured method of testing will allow for Aeris to identify all areas of growth without making a broad recommendation for remediation within the property.
There is often more than one source of mold due to the conditions responsible for the growth. Mold can flourish due to a simple pipe leak, an AC unit incorrectly installed, a permeable foundation and numerous other sources. Aeris locates the cause to ensure all repairs are effective.
Moisture mapping the property will allow for us to manually check every area that could be impacted by water. With water comes mold. Moisture mapping windows, cabinetry with plumbing, tile floor systems and many other areas of the like will pinpoint hidden issues. Some broader concerns could be water in the form of vapor such as humidity. Understanding temperature, humidity, and dew points will allow for our team to find condensation or slow-grow situations due to vapor or substantial temperature differences.
All clients receive a detailed report including observations, test results, and recommendations. This enables the homeowner to repair the root of the issue to make certain it remains fixed. The team does not simply make a report and disappear. The homeowner can access the inspectors for answers to questions regarding the remediation process.
