Visual Mold Inspection and Testing
When you join forces with Murphy Mold Assessment, LLC, as your mold inspection company, you’ll be impressed by our attention to detail and commitment to getting the job done right.
During the mold testing and inspection, we will search for telltale signs of mold, including visible mold growth and musty, mildew-y odors. Furthermore, we will be on the lookout for structural concerns that could lead to mold problems, such as:
- Plumbing leaks
- Roof leaks
- Downspouts that aren’t effectively draining away from the house
- Damp foundations and/or basement floors
- Excessive condensation on surfaces
- Negative land grading that draws water towards the foundation
After the visual mold inspection, we will use tapes and swabs to gather physical samples that will then be tested by a state-certified lab. We may also take air samples to check for mold spores. Your results will be delivered within 5 to 10 business days.
New York State Mold Assessment
If our mold inspection proves that you do, in fact, have a mold problem on your Capital Region property, then we will provide you with a detailed mold assessment report so you can take the necessary next steps for remediation.
According to laws set by the New York State Department of Labor, mold remediation contractors are not allowed to perform any work without a detailed remediation plan documented by a third-party, licensed mold assessor. Therefore, our mold assessment will become your remediation contractor’s plan of action for what is to occur during the remediation process.
The plan will be based on what we uncovered during your commercial or house mold inspection. It will include the following details:
- Specific rooms or areas to be cleaned and treated
- Amount of affected materials to be cleaned or removed
- Recommended remediation method for each area
- List of equipment and chemicals to be used
- Estimated timeline
- Estimated total cost
- Underlying causes of moisture and suggestions on how property owner can fix them
Importantly, after your remediation contractor has completed their work, we’ll return for a post-remediation mold inspection to ensure the contractor successfully followed our plan.
In other words, with Murphy Mold Assessment, LLC, holding the reins, your mold problem will be solved for good in no time. So, whether you’re in Albany, Troy, Saratoga, or surrounding areas, book your mold test appointment with us today!
