Certified Mold Detection and Mold Inspections In The Northern Virginia and Maryland Region

Mold detection and mold inspection services often uncover hidden problems in the dark, damp areas of your Northern Virginia or Maryland home. Mold is a fungus that is airborne until it settles upon a surface such as a wall, ceiling or baseboard, and when the surface is damp, it will stick and stay there. Mold detection is sometimes as easy as walking into a room and seeing the mold upon visual inspection, but other times the mold detection process is much more involved.

Mold growth in a home, if left to grow and is not found during the mold detection process, can lead to serious health problems such as allergies, headaches, asthma, fatigue, sinus problems, dizziness, eye irritation and emphysema. These health concerns alone should be reason enough for most homeowners to start the mold detection process and mold removal if necessary.

Mold spores attach to any wet surface, but in order to grow and flourish, the area must be warm, dark and moist. Locations in the home especially susceptible to these conditions include the bathroom, kitchen, under sinks, laundry rooms, basements and attics. Mold detection should always be given a priority in these areas to prevent mold growth.

Mold detection begins with searching the areas of the home that are highly prone to mold growth and working out from those locations. For example, if mold growth is found under the kitchen sink during a mold detection service, the mold detection process is likely to continue in the other cabinets in the kitchen as well as behind appliances. From there it is likely to go to the basement or attic, since moisture tends to flow downward from the highest point.
