Are you dealing with a potential mold problem in your Vancouver WA home or business? It’s understandable for property owners to be unsure about the extent of their mold problem and the best course of action to take.

Signs of mold include discoloration or musty odors. But typically, mold smells are the biggest indicator of its presence. Taking care of mold yourself often fails to address the root cause of the problem and can even make matters worse.

Contractors like BCC Restoration address this problem by doing detailed mold inspections and creating targeted remediation plans. Our certified experts know how to assess your mold problem. We have the right tools to create a plan for removal and prevention. However, it’s important to note that we do not offer mold testing.

What Is the Difference Between Mold Inspection and Mold Testing?

Mold testing and mold inspections are not the same. Mold inspections look closely at the property to find where mold is growing or might grow. Mold testing measures the concentration of mold spores in the air and identifies the type of mold present.

For mold testing, samples taken from your home are analyzed in a lab. Using specialized methods, these samples are tested to detect any presence of mold (and if so, which type). Mold testing can help identify the source and size of mold growth. It’s often recommended after a mold inspection shows high moisture or visible growth.

If you’re interested in mold testing, Vancouver WA offers multiple labs that can take your samples. The pros at BCC Restoration are more than happy to conduct your inspection – but just a reminder, we do not offer testing.

Mold Inspections

Mold can hide in hard-to-reach areas, making it difficult to determine the full scope of the problem. A mold inspection is the process of assessing a property carefully for any mold presence.

During the inspection, a mold inspector conducts this assessment. They check for mold, moisture, water damage, and potential areas of growth. This includes basements, crawl spaces, attics, and areas with water leaks or dampness. Inspectors use tools like thermal cameras and moisture meters.

At the end of the inspection, the inspector will put together a report. This report shares what the inspector found and suggests next steps.

Mold inspections are crucial for finding mold issues, so that the inspector can suggest ways to handle them.
