Certified Mold Testing & Inspection Services in New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania & Connecticut

It’s important to take any concerns about mold in your home or business seriously. While not all mold is dangerous, the fact is, many molds can be quite harmful to your health, including the infamous black mold (Stachybotrys), which can cause chronic health problems in people and animals.

Here in the Northeast (New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut), mold is quite common, especially in basements, crawl spaces, and attics. Given the right environment, mold can quickly establish itself and flourish in any damp area that contains organic material.

Are you worried that your home or business might have a mold problem? Here are some signs that it is time to call in the experts for mold testing and inspection:

• The grout is dark between your shower tiles
• You have peeling, bubbling, or cracking wallpaper
• Colored or dark spots appear on your walls
• You detect a musty odor no matter how clean you keep your home
• The air coming from your HVAC system smells musty
• There was recent flooding in your home
• You use a humidifier in your home
• You feel fatigued all of the time
• You often feel itchy
• You have allergy symptoms that don’t go away with the change of seasons
• You have a “cold” that just doesn’t go away
• Your asthma symptoms are worsening

If you suspect a mold problem, just remember that the initial mold inspection and testing is truly the most important part of the mold removal process.

It is the job of the mold inspector to ask the right questions, thoroughly visually inspect the entire structure, and perform laboratory testing of the right areas of the building. A complete and thorough assessment allows your inspector to create the proper protocol for mold removal to take place. If any of these tasks are handled improperly, the mold remediation will have a high likelihood of failure.

Certified Mold Removal Inc. is the premiere mold inspection, testing, removal and remediation company in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York and Connecticut since 1995. Our job is to test for physical and airborne mold issues and identify the source of your problem before it gets out of hand. Our mold testing experts will arm you with the information you need to choose the best mold removal and remediation options based on your specific situation.

Not only that, but we will educate you on how to avoid running into a mold issue again in the future.

Here’s what you can expect:

1. We Gather Information

The first thing we will do is ask you a number of questions to collect important information about your suspected mold problem. These questions will include:
What do you feel is going on in your home?
How long have you experienced these issues or noticed these signs of mold?
Have you recently experienced weather-related, water, or moisture issues in your home or business?
Have there been any plumbing leaks or HVAC leaks that you are aware of?
Do you run a dehumidifier in your basement or crawl space?

The answers to these and other questions will help us better understand what may have caused the microbial growth, the type of mold you might be dealing with, as well as where it is most likely coming from.

2. On-Site Investigation

We schedule a time to come to your property and perform an assessment. When our mold inspector arrives, he will introduce himself and request to be taken to any ‘problem areas’. During this time your inspector will ask questions so he can gather as much information about the history of the building so he can utilize and any insight you’re able to provide. If our mold specialists detect any presence of mold, he will not disturb the area as this can cause the mold spores to be sent into the air.

Not only will we inspect any suspicious areas that you have pointed out, but we will inspect the entire home including the basement, your attic and any other areas where moisture can find its way into the house.

Our technicians also use moisture meters and thermal imaging to reveal moisture where it could be causing your mold problem. Digital video or photos are often used to help with the assessment.

3. Samples Taken

The next step is to collect air and physical testing samples so we can determine the amount and the toxicity of mold present. This allows for the proper protocols to be used when it’s time to  remove the mold.

We are focused on determining the type of mold, its toxicity and location, in addition to how much mold you are dealing with. We do this by taking air samples not only in the areas where we find signs of mold, but also from other areas of the home or property. This will help us detect any cross-contamination and determine the levels of mold in the air so that we can bring your home back to a safe and healthy living environment.

We use a Zefon Bio Pump along with an Air-O-Cell Sampling Cassette to sample the amount and species of mold in the air of your home or office.

We also conduct swab sampling to capture surface samples from areas where mold is suspected. This allows us to determine the type, toxicity, and quantity of mold on a surface.

This whole process generally takes an hour or so; however, it could take longer depending on the size of the area we are inspecting, what we discover, and the number of questions you have throughout the process. We love questions, as the answers will help you better understand how and why your mold removal problem exists, and how to prevent it from coming back in the future. .

4. Analysis Completed

For the most accurate and unbiased results, we send our samples to an accredited third-party laboratory, an American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) Accredited Laboratory for evaluation.

We will have test results back in just a few days (or if necessary, we can expedite the lab testing so we have your results the very next day (24-hours)!  We understand this is an urgent matter and want to have your report to you as quickly as possible, so we can begin the mold remediation process without any delay.

After receiving your lab report we sit down and evaluate them, along with the notes and pictures taken during your mold inspection visit, and we create your complete remediation plan and report.

The report includes clear, easy-to-understand results of the testing as well as each and every recommended step that we will follow to eliminate your mold remediation problem in its entirety!

5. Follow Up

The owner of the company will then reach out to you once the mold inspection and testing results have been fully evaluated. At that time he will call you to discuss the test results directly and provide you with all the information needed so you know whether or not your family is at risk and if professional remediation is necessary.
