A thorough mold inspection is the starting point for any suspected mold-related issue. Without one, there’s no way to accurately determine how severe your mold problem is, or if one exists at all. Your mold inspection will allow us to determine if you have mold, how serious it is, how to properly eradicate it and how to prevent it from returning. If you suspect mold or are concerned with your indoor air quality, a mold inspection by one of our Certified Mold Assessors will provide the necessary answers to your mold-related questions.
At Sani Effect, we use the latest technology to conduct a comprehensive mold inspection.

Stop Risking Your Health or Property.
Airborne mold is not visible to the naked eye and can be a major concern. Elevated mold spores are caused by elevated humidity plumes, water leaks, flooding and/or poor water and mold remediation clean-ups.
Airborne mold spores often spread throughout a building. Without a visible inspection for mold and active moisture issues and sampling for airborne mold spores, a mold assessment is incomplete. Don’t let an incomplete mold assessment cost your family their health.
Q: When Should I Do A Mold Visual Inspection?
A: It is a good time for mold visual inspection in your home, business or building when:
-
You discover a leak that has existed for more than 24-48 hours
-
You suspect mold but do not see any visible mold growth
-
After any flooding or water intrusion occurrence
-
When you want to determine if mold is growing in your home
-
Unusual stains appear on furniture or building materials
-
Your home inspection company has discovered suspect mold
-
If there an “unusual" smell in your home or building
-
If anyone in your home suffers from – nausea, sneezing, runny nose, coughing, rashes, fatigue, flu like symptoms, headaches, dizziness wheezing, fevers or asthma.
If you think that your home, business or building has a mold problem, take quick definitive action. Have your home or office tested for mold to determine whether a little clean-up project or a major mold remediation is required.
Our Inspection and Mold Sampling Procedures
Visual inspection of premises:
We will inspect the interior of the site to locate active moisture and microbial growth, and test for elevated airborne mold spores. For an additional fee we will provide a written protocol for proper remediation processes.
Air and surface sampling:
We take a minimum of 3 air samples (2 inside & 1 outside for baseline), with additional samples as needed for over 1000 sq ft or as requested by the client. Air sampling will determine if mold contamination is localized or spread throughout the building. To analyze a surface area suspected to be infested with mold, we take a surface sample or a physical bulk sample.
Laboratory testing:
The samples are analyzed at our preferred accredited lab, which is one of the leading providers of environmental laboratory services with experience in numerous forms sampling analysis.
Documented testing reports:
Sampling results can be provided within 2-3 days after testing, and the report will contain the mold types and levels found. All lab results are documented and are legal documents with individual identification numbers, so you can use them as a legal proof, should it be necessary.
Final air sampling (post-remediation verification):
After all moldy surfaces are cleaned or removed, we suggest a PRV final inspection and sampling assessment services. Air samples of the pre-elevated areas should show mold levels have decreased to an acceptable level in these areas. This ensures your confidence in the effectiveness of the mold remediation and clean-up.
