Mold Testing identifies the specific fungi present usually using either an air sample
or a tape test sent to a third-party laboratory for analysis. If mold is visible there
is no need to spend the added money of a test. There is only one way to remove
mold -- cut it out. Applying bleach does not kill mold, it only makes it invisible for
a period of time.
Living in Florida means living with the almost constant presence of mold spores.
They are in the outside air and will be carried inside when doors are opened. It
is the level of spores that can create discomfit. Visible growth indicates a
heightened level that should be corrected; the most common fungal type of
indoor mold is aspergilus/penicillum.
Mold Remediation is the process of mold removal. This typically involves setting up
a contained work area to limit the chance of mold spores (which are invisible to
the eye) to reach uncontaminated areas of the home. Air Scrubbers, large
commercial HEPA air recyclers, are used to capture floating spores. Drywall that
is cut out will be bagged for proper disposal. Areas behind the drywall will be
HEPA vacuumed and have an antimicrobial agent applied to ensure all spores
have been killed. Then a post-remediation air test is sampled and sent to the
lab. When the lab provides a good report the rebuild may commence.
Infrared Cameras are used to identify moist areas behind a solid surface like a wall.
