A mold assessment determines whether there’s any visible mold present and estimates its size (in square feet). An assessment typically includes a visual examination for signs of mold growth, an inspection of water damage, testing for humidity levels, and inspecting the HVAC system for signs of mold contamination. Since mold often drifts into homes from the outside, marginal amounts are almost always present indoors. A mold assessment will be able to determine if the problem was caused by water damage.
Depending on the type of mold test taken it can show you the different levels of mold spores in the air and/or what type of mold it is. Samples that have been collected are examined in a lab under carefully controlled conditions. All indoor spaces contain mold spores that come into them through air currents from outside, so mold testing usually provides a long list of species — most of which aren’t actually present in your house. Determining what kinds of mold are present in your home will allow you to decide whether or not you need to hire a mold remediator.
