Humid Conditions in the Sandy Springs Area Homes May Call for a Mold Inspection
Humid conditions exist every season but can be particularly formidable for the Atlanta area during the summer and winter. During these months, houses are closed off to keep them warm or cool. An unfortunate byproduct of excessive moisture in residence is mold growth, and this threat can be confirmed with professional mold inspection services by AdvantaClean of Sandy Springs.
Humidity Concerns in Your Sandy Springs Home
Before securing mold inspection for Sandy Springs properties, many homeowners determine the viability of microbial growth based on the environment. Wet conditions, such as the state of your home after water damage, can create the appropriate conditions for mold growth and the spread of these organisms. While mold can grow in almost any area of your household, certain rooms are more susceptible to moisture and humidity, so they are more likely for this development. These can include:
-
The attic when the roof has become compromised, or the space is poorly ventilated
-
An inadequately ventilated bathroom
-
Laundry and utility areas prone to steam and excess heat
-
Crawl space with regular water intrusion, insufficient ventilation, and higher exposure to mold spore concentrations
Peace of Mind with Professional Mold Inspection
Sometimes, it is not difficult to identify a mold threat developing in your household. Spotting on surfaces and rapidly spreading organisms indicate a problem. However, in many cases, mold can take weeks or even months to surface in such a way. Professional mold inspection services provided by AdvantaClean of Sandy Springs offer a faster path to determining the current state of your household and if remediation services are necessary to overcome an existing mold growth concern. Our process involves several methods of discovery, including:
-
A thorough visual inspection determines if mold is already reaching the surface of common areas in your house and how severe this threat could become.
-
We use hygrometers and thermal imagery to track moisture conditions, particularly hidden caches of moisture within structural cavities, to indicate where microbial colonies could form out of sight.
-
Upon discovering moisture pockets, we can perform exploratory demolition to visually inspect inside cavities and remove infested materials like drywall and wood if they cannot be salvaged.
-
When direct inspections cannot determine the presence of mold or do not provide clear enough information, AdvantaClean of Sandy Springs can perform air samples and surface grabs to get a more analytical report of the presence of mold or its likelihood in your household.
You do not have to live with the concern that mold could grow in your house without your knowledge. Professional mold inspection services are available 24/7, and scheduling is as easy as calling AdvantaClean of Sandy Springs at (404) 474-8443.
