What do you like most about being a mold inspector?:
; I enjoy helping people solve their indoor environmental and mold issues. I gain satisfaction with resolving these issues, knowing that I am helping people live healthier lives.
Describe an inspection that you are particularly proud of: (Specifics on mold issue, Client relationship, What was rewarding about it)
I had a client that had just moved into a home, he and his family started to become ill with symptoms of sneezing, coughing, and general overall fatigue (believe it or not, he had an exotic cat which was actually sneezing while I was there at the home for the inspection, this was one of the reasons he called us as well, he said his cat had been sneezing since they moved in). I did my inspection and found suspect areas in the basement where there was moisture in the crawlspace, and a musty smell. I recorded the moisture levels in my report and collected air samples throughout the home. After receiving the air sample results from the lab, it was determined that they had extremely high levels of Penicillium/Aspergillus molds spread through the air throughout the entire home from the basement. I made recommendations to the client to mitigate the issues, and within a few days time the home was healthy, and the client was extremely happy that all of their adverse symptoms subsided (including the cat)(true story). The client had me back to his home weeks later to retest the indoor space for reassurance, and we were all happy to find that the mold had not returned. I am happy to know that I was instrumental in helping them live a healthier lives by improving their indoor environment.

Mold Inspection & Testing Austin Texas
For clients that do have elevated levels of mold in their home, we offer a complete protocol for restoration. This includes a step-by-step process for how the remediation should be handled and who should be doing the work. Austin Mold remediation is different than a standard remodeling job. When removing contaminated materials, you are sending thousands of mold spores into the air. For this reason, problem areas should be contained and equipped with an airscrubber while work is being completed. After contaminated materials are removed, walls must be hepa vaccumed and treated with antimicrobial solutions and sealants. These are things that professional remediation companies have the capabilities of doing that a normal contractor would not. If this type of work is attempted by someone without the proper experience, there is a good chance they will only further the air quality issues within the residence or business.
WHEN DEALING WITH THESE SORT OF ISSUES IN YOUR PROPERTY OR BUSINESS, YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU USE A COMPANY WITHOUT A CONFLICT OF INTEREST. HIRING A Austin MOLD REMEDIATION COMPANY TO FINISH AN INSPECTION IS AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT YOU DON’T WANT TO DO. THESE COMPANIES OFTEN OFFER FREE INSPECTIONS TO GET THEIR FOOT IN THEIR DOOR TO PITCH A LARGER, MORE COSTLY JOB. AS WE ALREADY MENTIONED, SOMETIMES CLIENTS HAVE RESULTS THAT COME BACK WITH NO PROBLEM AT ALL OR ONE SMALL ENOUGH TO BE HANDLED ON THEIR OWN. A VISUAL INSPECTION COULD NEVER TELL YOU THESE TYPES OF DETAILS AND SOME MOLD REMOVAL COMPANIES WOULD NOT FOREGO THE OPPORTUNITY FOR WORK BY LETTING YOU KNOW YOUR CONCERNS ARE UNJUSTIFIABLE.
