MOLD DETECTION

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. All utility systems are thoroughly examined. 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 will remove only visible mold but significantly accelerate the growth of hidden mold. This happens because surface cleaning does not address the root cause and instead creates favorable conditions for hidden mold to thrive.Construction companies often mask mold and dampness by covering them with drywall, insulation (capoto), paint, or other materials. This approach not only fails to solve the problem but also turns it into a serious threat to your health and the condition of your home. Mold will continue to grow actively under the covering layers, releasing spores that will poison your living environment for years.Dehumidifiers only reduce the humidity of the air near the device. They cannot lower the moisture levels in walls or affect mold growth. Meanwhile, they consume electricity, create noise, and do not address the root cause of the issue. The same applies to air conditioners.A ceramic tubular heat exchanger is highly inefficient due to the short contact time between air and the surface, low thermal conductivity of the ceramic, and constant cooling of the material, making air heating virtually impossible.To effectively eliminate mold, it is crucial to identify and address its root cause rather than masking the symptoms.

Checking for moisture is important even if the walls are white 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, disproportionately affecting the well-being 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 significantly exceeded acceptable norms. Simply cleaning and painting over the mold is insufficient, 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, particularly in sensitive individuals. Symptoms may include respiratory problems, headaches, skin irritation, and in some cases, more severe reactions.Checking for moisture will help identify potential problems and prevent their occurrence.
