Mold Inspection Service

Portland Oregon Mold Inspections

mold picture

Mold inspection service includes:

  • All exterior walls with Moisture Meter/ to identify areas more likely to have hidden mold.
  • Closets, under sinks, under stairs, around windows/doors, or any areas where water is present. (Bathrooms, Utility Rooms, Kitchens, ETC)After the full visual inspection of the property, Top Notch Home Inspection can suggest a testing plan to the client. Our inspectors must suggest any sample that could be beneficial to you the client. It is then your decision to decide what is most important to your situation and what you would like collected and submitted for analysis. It is not uncommon for more samples to be suggested than submitted. We must do things in this way to avoid problems with a client figuring out they needed a sample that was NOT submitted; legal matters that need as much evidence as possible for example.

Types of samples:

  • Air Quality Sample – This is collected via an air pump and spore trap. Our traps collect 75 Cubic Liters of air, and identify any mold spores present in the air. All homes have some levels of mold in the air, these samples determine if the airborne levels in the clients home are normal or have elevated levels. We can collect these from any rooms/areas of concern, and we base them off of an outside control sample.
  • Cavity Sample – This is collected with the same air pump, but with a tube connected to the end of the spore trap to allow a sample to be collected from within walls. These are collected whenever a wall shows signs of visual damage or if a wall has high moisture content. These tell us whether elevated conditions exist behind inaccessible walls to determine if removal is necessary.
  • Surface Sample – Surface samples can be taken of any visual discoloration or growth that is observed. We are able to do this by using a medical swab or tape lift. These will identify the species of any observed growth. This often helps when determining the source of any airborne levels.

 

The samples collected identify any mold types present. Air samples give exact spore counts and concentrations. Surface samples identify the mold species and growth concentration. We always start with an outside air sample that serves as a control that sets baseline numbers for what is normal and acceptable. It is then compared to an inside sample from the area of greatest concern. This will basically let us know whether or not elevated conditions exist or not.

After samples have been collected, they are then sent to a third party laboratory for analysis. Results are available as soon as the next business day. Once the results have been reviewed, Top Notch Home Inspection will create a full protocol of any required work. This report tells you what samples were taken, what exact species and concentration were found, and what the next steps would be. All samples collected are accompanied by a photo for identification purposes.

If elevated conditions are not found to exist, a general findings report is provided stating the collected samples and that elevated mold conditions were not found to exist.

Top Notch Home Inspection can provide a clearance letter if the samples come back without an elevated result.

    Jeff recently did a home inspection for me. I found him to be very thorough, knowledgeable and patient. I stopped him in the middle of his inspection many times to ask questions and he was more than willing to stop what he was doing and answer my questions. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to inspect my prospective new home. It was time and money very well spent. I would recommend him to anybody. Thank...

    Good morning Jeff
    I just wanted to write  you and tell you what a Stellar young man you have working for you, and that is Spencer.  He is such an asset to you and you probably already know that.  We had an amazing conversation yesterday, and WOW, what a great attitude he has.  He also did primo work.  Cleaned up after himself and you hardly even knew he pulled the toilet or any signs of him there.
    I hope he continues to have the opportunity in your company to keep growing.   I will recommend your company to anyone.
    Thank you again Jeff.  You are a great person also.   I am glad I found your company.

    Thank you Jeff.
    I hadn’t gotten around to it yet in the whirlwind of house hunting, but I wanted to follow up and thank Mark for his last inspection he performed for us.  He was very professional, diligent, and thorough.  His inspection saved us from purchasing a house that had a lot of major issues we weren’t aware of, potentially saving us from a money pit, and are extremely happy to have him as our inspector...

    Mark @ Top Notch handled my home inspection and I couldn’t be happier! He took the time to do the job right and provided us with a very detailed report! He was kind and professional and I will be recommending Top Notch Home Inspections to all my friends and family!

    What a great company!! Thank you for everything, especially the Military Discount.  We hit rock bottom when we both lost our jobs and we are working hard to get back on top so your generosity is greatly appreciated.  I will report your excellent service with the BBB and recommend you to friends and family.
