MOLD DETECTION & SOLUTIONS

A pre-purchase property inspection focuses on assessing the property's underlying systems and identifying potential hidden issues. This includes evaluating damp and mold problems, inspecting for leaks, water damage, and visible or hidden mold. An overall assessment of all utility systems is conducted. The plumbing system is checked for leaks, ensuring proper functioning of pipes and drainage. The electrical system is inspected for safety. The HVAC system is evaluated for operational efficiency. Windows and doors are assessed for water leaks. The building envelope is examined for structural integrity and insulation performance.After the inspection, a comprehensive report is provided, detailing identified issues, their severity, and recommended corrective actions.

Cleaning companies typically remove only visible mold, which may inadvertently accelerate the growth of hidden mold. This happens because surface cleaning does not address the root cause of moisture and mold, and in some cases, it can create conditions that favor the growth of hidden mold.
Construction companies may attempt to mask mold and dampness by covering them with drywall, insulation (capoto), paint, or other materials. While this approach might provide a temporary cosmetic solution, it does not address the underlying problem and could result in long-term risks to your health and the condition of your property. Mold can continue to grow underneath these coverings, releasing spores that may affect the air quality in your home.
Dehumidifiers only reduce the humidity in the immediate area around the device and are not effective at lowering moisture levels in walls or addressing mold growth in hidden areas. Additionally, they can be noisy and consume electricity without tackling the root cause of the problem. The same applies to air conditioners.
CTA ventilation systems, while helpful for air circulation, do not effectively remove moisture trapped inside walls. Furthermore, supply ventilation systems can sometimes exacerbate mold growth inside ducts, potentially worsening the indoor climate.
A ceramic tubular heat exchanger is often inefficient due to the short contact time between the air and the surface, low thermal conductivity of the ceramic, and the constant cooling of the material, which makes air heating practically impossible.
To effectively eliminate mold, it is crucial to identify and address its root cause, rather than simply masking the symptoms.

Checking for moisture is important even if the walls appear clean and there is no visible mold, as moisture can accumulate inside the walls and remain invisible at first glance. Mold spores and high humidity can lead to respiratory issues, potentially affecting the health of both older adults and young children. Such conditions can also reduce productivity in adults, contribute to feelings of lethargy, and lead to various serious health problems.If the walls are already affected by mold, it indicates that the humidity levels have likely exceeded acceptable norms. Simply cleaning and painting over the may not be effective, as mold spores can remain inside the wall and reappear shortly after treatment.Stachybotrys is a genus of mold, commonly referred to as "black mold" or "toxic black mold." It is particularly known for its dark green or black appearance and is often found in damp or water-damaged buildings.Exposure to Stachybotrys can lead to various health issues, especially in sensitive individuals. Symptoms may include respiratory problems, headaches, skin irritation, and in some cases, more severe reactions.Checking for moisture is a proactive step in identifying potential problems and preventing their development.
