Does Your Salina Home Need a Mold Inspection?

Are you concerned about possible mold growth in your home, but unsure if it’s time to call in a mold inspection?

We suggest asking yourself these key questions:

• Has there been any recent water damage to your home? Or has your home had a history of flooding?
• Do certain parts of your home tend to stay damp longer than others?
• Have there been any plumbing issues or leaks?
• Has anyone in the house or building noticed any pungent odors?
• Has the building had any mold problems before now that were solved with DIY solutions?
• Are any residents reporting health issues, like asthma attacks?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then we recommend taking a closer look at things to make sure there has been no growth or regrowth of mold in your home.

Is It Time to Call for Professional Mold Inspection?

While you may feel tempted to grab an inexpensive inspection kit yourself, you may find the results lacking. Some test kits may test air conditions, and others may not. The efficacy and style of the kit can be hard to pin down with an overwhelming amount of online options. If you are unsure what to look for or where to begin, then a DIY job may not be the best solution for you.

If you find yourself in this situation, your best bet is to call the professionals. Here’s why:

• Professionals routinely experience and solve this exact problem. Dealing with mold is a complicated issue that requires thorough knowledge and training to wipe the slate clean. It is all too easy to miss a small part of the process that got overlooked. A one-time DIY job can turn into a five-time DIY job because mold is so resilient.
• If you don’t get it all, then you’re back at square one. Again, mold is notoriously excellent at hiding away in hard-to-reach spots. Anywhere and everywhere that collects moisture is suspect. Without ensuring that you have eliminated the chance for mold to regrow, you are welcoming mold back into your house.
• Getting it done all at once saves you money in the long run. The first step to solving any problem is learning about it. The professionals handle that job for you and walk you through the big picture of how your mold problem happened, how it can be fixed, and how they’re going to ensure that it does not happen again. There are a lot of easily-missed factors involved in this process. Once your mold inspection is complete, you are set with all the information you need to make an informed choice about the well-being of your home for the present and future.

What to Expect from Your Lamunyon Team Mold Inspection

A local team is going to have more experience and knowledge about the local environment. If your house is located around the Salina area, Lamunyon is the company for you.

What to expect from your professional mold inspection:

• We start with a visual inspection. Our professionals know the signs of mold growth inside and out. A simple visual inspection, if the mold has progressed to the visibility stage, can inform us about the scale of the problem as well as potential sources and overlooked factors. We always do this step first as it gets everyone on the same page.
• We take notes and share them with you. Detailed documentation allows us to form a plan to handle this problem. Once we have finished our assessment, we will share our findings with you so that you have all of the information possible about what’s going on in your home. We give you everything you need to make an informed decision about your mold infestation.
• We map out the spread with thermal imaging. We can see which parts of your building materials are colder than others through thermal imaging. The colder areas signify a moisture buildup, which is the ideal condition for mold to multiply.
• We determine the source or cause of moisture buildup. Mold growing near leaky pipes is simple to identify. However, once you have got a mold outbreak in an unusually damp place, it can take a bit of effort to find its source. We might be dealing with an exposed roof, compromised basement, or serious structural problems.
• Once we have finished our assessment, we give you the rundown. You get a straightforward and to-the-point explanation of our mold evaluation. We break down how bad the problem seems to be, the potential causes, and our scope of work to fix it.
• Our specialist explains the scope of work for you. The scope of work is a detailed plan of action for tackling your mold problem. We design a mold remediation plan that our professional team can follow through for you. This scope of work includes everything from our plan to reach the mold remediation, the cleanup protocol, and the efforts we take to prevent this mold problem from returning in the future.
• Finally, we offer post-remediation testing if the situation calls for it. Post remediation testing comes after we complete the remediation but before we begin our cleanup. Doing a thorough job is important to make sure you don’t end up with another infestation.
