Are mold inspections worth it?

• <div><p>Mold inspections are worth it because they can catch troublesome mold problems early before they get out of hand. It's worth it to address mold problems as soon as possible because mold can be hazardous to your health and cause damage to your home and its belongings. Mold testing and inspections are the best way to know if you have a mold issue in your house.</p></div>

How can I be sure if I have mold vs. mildew?

• <div><p>If you’re unsure whether you have mildew or mold, you can hire a professional to test the material. The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/mold-inspection-professionals-and-costs.htm">mold inspection cost</a> can range from about <b>$300 to $1,000</b>, depending on the size of the growth area. Once the testing professional tells you whether you have mold or mildew, you can then take the necessary steps to get rid of it.</p></div>

• <div><p>Mildew and mold are not different—mildew is a specific type of mold and yes, it can become dangerous if left untreated. It would be amazing if we were all biochemists but because we most likely aren’t, it isn’t wise to assume any mold is mildew on sight alone. Harmless mold and toxigenic mold (which can be deadly) look very similar, so if you see any new mold that looks even a little suspect, <b>call a mold professional immediately</b>.</p></div>

Is wood rot as dangerous as black mold?

• <div><p>Wood rot is not as dangerous as black mold. When comparing toxic <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/black-mold-vs-wood-rot.htm">black mold versus wood rot</a>, black mold is a far more dangerous type of fungus for your health. When someone inhales black mold spores, it can cause severe respiratory issues. Although some people are sensitive to the spores found with wood rot, most people do not react if they inhale wood rot spores.</p></div>

Can you paint over mold?

• <div><p>Painting over mold is not an effective solution and can actually make the problem worse. Instead, it traps moisture, which allows mold to grow and spread beneath the surface. Mold must be completely removed before painting to ensure the problem doesn’t recur. If mold is painted over, it may eventually seep through the new layer of paint, causing discoloration and peeling.</p></div>

"Lesson learned. Always get an estimate. BEFORE the work is done. At least a digital copy. Arrangements for the project were made, with some one named Lynn, for the company to send someone to complete the work. We were quoted over the phone 4500-5000 which included a mold test. A sub contractor with an entirely different company (National Mold Company) was sent. When the contractor arrived, he stated that the job would be much more simpler than first thought. This led us to believe that the job would cost less, no. All said and done, they charged $5500. All said and done, it's almost like no work was done. The stains and the smell are still there. Only one actual board was taken upon the attic room. The ceiling in the bedroom was primed and painted but are still visible and have a funky smell. At this point I'm going to. Do what we should have done; Do the job ourselves. Just now with $5500 less dollars in our pockets. A detailed receipt was not given even though it was requested."

When you have mold, making the correct decisions right away is critical. Whether it is mold in your home, school, place of work, or apartment there are many factors to consider. Are you going to be involved in a mold lawsuit? Will you be seeking property damages? Is anyone sick from mold exposure? Will you be seeking medical damages? Will you need expert witnesses? If so, what kind? Do you just want to test to be sure your environment is safe? Do you need post mold remediation testing to ensure a good job was done? These and other factors are questions which need to be answered before any environmental testing starts. It is important to know what your goals are and why your testing. Different goals require different environmental tests, i.e. medical damages and property damages require different environmental tests to prove your case in court. Tests that a common, or inexperienced, mold inspector would not typically use or know to use.

"The mold testing is fine. The mold remediation company is very sketchy. Just buy some air purifiers."
