Our Mold Testing Process
We offer mold testing both on surfaces and in the air to detect mold spores that may be present in your Portage home or business. This allows us to find hidden mold that cannot be seen with the naked eye.
Once we understand the severity of your mold problems through testing, we will create a customized plan to address the issue. If mold remediation
is needed, our experienced team can handle that as well.
Surface Testing
If you can see mold growth on a surface in your home, we can test that surface to determine what type of mold is present. We send samples to an independent laboratory that specializes in mold identification and testing.
Air Quality Testing
Air quality testing measures the concentration of mold spores in the air inside your Portage property. We compare indoor levels to outdoor baseline measurements to determine if you have elevated mold levels that require remediation.
When Should You Get Mold Testing in Portage?
Consider professional mold testing if you notice any of these warning signs in your Portage property:
- Musty or earthy odors that persist
- Visible mold growth on walls, ceilings, or other surfaces
- Recent water damage or flooding
- Unexplained health symptoms (respiratory issues, headaches, allergies)
- High humidity or condensation problems
- Buying or selling a home (pre-inspection peace of mind)
Common Mold Issues in Portage Homes
Portage's location near Lake Michigan and Burns Waterway means many homes deal with higher humidity levels, especially in basements and crawl spaces. Older homes in established Portage neighborhoods may have aging plumbing or roof issues that lead to water intrusion
and mold growth.
We frequently find mold in Portage properties in these areas:
- Basements and crawl spaces (high humidity)
- Bathrooms (poor ventilation)
- Attics (roof leaks, condensation)
- Around windows and doors (condensation, seal failures)
- Under sinks and around plumbing (leaks)
What Happens After Mold Testing?
Once we understand the severity of your mold problems through testing, we will create a customized plan to address the issue. If remediation is needed, our experienced team can handle that as well. We'll walk you through every step of the process and answer all your questions.
