Here we explain why a professional is needed to complete the tests and inspections, as well as what you can expect in terms of results.

So, if you’re feeling worried about mold growth in your house or you’re dealing with a disaster that caused water damage and need some help, look no further!

Remediation Process

Our Mold Remediation Process

  1. Inspection and Assessment

    • Our certified mold specialists conduct a comprehensive inspection of your property to identify mold growth and its sources.

    • Using advanced tools, we detect hidden moisture that can lead to mold growth.

    • We provide a full report on the extent of the mold problem and recommend a tailored remediation plan.

  2. Containment

    • We use physical barriers and negative air pressure to prevent mold spores from spreading during the remediation process.

    • Our team wears personal protective equipment (PPE) to ensure safety and prevent cross-contamination.

  3. Mold Removal

    • We use industry-approved methods to remove mold from surfaces and materials, including HEPA vacuuming, antimicrobial treatments, and, if necessary, removal of contaminated materials.

    • Our remediation process includes the use of eco-friendly and non-toxic cleaning agents to ensure your home remains safe.

  4. Cleaning and Sanitization

    • We clean and sanitize all affected areas to eliminate mold spores and prevent recurrence.

    • HEPA air scrubbers are used to filter out mold spores from the air, improving indoor air quality.

  5. Restoration

    • After mold removal, we restore your property to its original condition, including drywall repair, painting, and flooring replacement.

    • We provide recommendations for moisture control and preventive measures to keep mold from returning.

Types of Inspections

There are serval techniques of mold testing available to all mold inspectors. These levels include non-intrusive visual inspection, swabs, tapes, bulk samples, air sampling and intrusive.

 Essential Mold Solutions services examine your property to locate signs of excess moisture, water damage, and active infestations.

 Mold testing is all about diagnosing the kinds of mold lurking inside a building.

  • When mold is present, it will usually appear as a patch of dark or discolored growth. In some cases, mold may also produce musty odors.

    Visual inspection is generally considered to be the most reliable method for detecting mold growth, as it does not require any special equipment or training.


    However, it is important to note that mold can sometimes be hidden from view, so this method is not always foolproof. As such, it is often used in conjunction with other methods, such as air quality testing.

  • This type of testing is used to determine if there is a potential for exposure to hazardous levels of mold spores in an enclosed area.


    The test involves taking samples of air from the confined space and analyzing them for mold spores. If the level of mold spores in the air is found to be above the safe limit, then the area is considered to be a hazard and should be avoided.


    While this type of testing can be time-consuming and expensive, it is often necessary in order to protect workers from exposure to harmful mold spores.

  • Swabbing is a common mold testing and inspection method. A swab is a small cotton or polyester pad that is attached to the end of a stick. The swab is then used to collect a sample of mold from the surface of an object.


    Once the swab has been collected, it can be sent to a laboratory for analysis. Swabbing is considered to be a relatively accurate way to test for the presence of mold.


    However, it is important to note that swabbing can only be used to test for the presence of mold on surfaces. It cannot be used to test for airborne mold spores.

  • This type of mold testing involves taking a sample of the contaminated material and sending it to a laboratory for analysis.

    This method is often used to confirm the presence of mold when visible mold growth is present, or when there is a strong musty odor present. This kind of testing can also be used to identify the type of mold present and to determine the extent of the contamination.

    The advantage of this method is that it can provide definitive results; however, the disadvantage is that it requires the use of specialized equipment and trained personnel, and it can be expensive.

  • This method is often used in conjunction with other methods, such as visual inspection, to confirm the presence of mold.

    Moisture meters are used to measure the moisture content of materials, such as drywall, insulation, and carpet.

    The results of a moisture meter inspection can help to identify areas that are at risk for mold growth.

    In general, mold thrives in moist environments, so the higher the moisture content of a material, the greater the risk for mold growth.


    Moisture meter inspections can be performed using either contact or non-contact moisture meters.

    Contact moisture meters require physical contact with the material being tested, while non-contact moisture meters use sensors to measure the moisture content of the air around the material.

  • This type of testing and inspection method that can be used to find hidden leaks, measure moisture levels in building materials, and detect the presence of mold.


    Thermal cameras work by detecting infrared radiation, which is emitted by all objects in the form of heat. By creating an infrared map of an area, thermal imaging can help to identify areas of high moisture content that may be at risk for mold growth.


    In addition, thermal cameras can also be used to detect the presence of mold spores in the air, making them an essential tool for both mold prevention and remediation.
