Mold Prevention Inspection Services for Water Leaks, Moisture, Condensation, and Humidity
Mold needs three things to grow: an organic source, temperature, and most importantly moisture. Mold breaks down only organic material as it primarily degrades the cellulose of organic materials. In homes and offices, there are plenty of organic materials used in construction which contain cellulose, such as; drywall, wood, and carpet with organic fibers. Mold will not feed on synthetic materials directly, but it will however, feed on organic particles and debris that land on these synthetics such as; dead skin, dust, hair, etc.
How to Identify the Source of a Mold and Mildew Problem
Mold and Mildew
Mold and mildew are commonly found growing where there is excess moisture, humidity, condensation, poor ventilation, and organic material to feed on. Common causes of mold include- a water leak, pipe burst, over flown bathtub, backed up toilet, a leaky roof, HVAC systems, condensation around AC vents and windows, poor climate control, insufficient drainage, etc.
There are a number of places mold can grow unbeknownst to a home or building owner. If you suspect mold growing or have ever experienced any of the causes listed above, it would be highly advisable to have a mold, water leak, moisture, condensation, humidity, and complete indoor air quality inspection service completed. As mold can start to flourish in as little as 24-48 hours, time is always of essence when dealing with mold removal.
Our water leak, humidity, condensation, excess moisture, and indoor air quality inspection division specializes in identifying and remediating the source of mold growth. Our inspectors utilize a wide range of state of the art equipment and systems to quickly ascertain where there are problematic areas, water leaks, high humidity zones, where there is poor drainage, condensation, and excess moisture that will eventually lead to mold growth.

Mold Prevention With Humidity, Condensation, and Temperature Control
In homes and buildings, an exposed corner room is also likely to be significantly warmer and more humid than adjoining rooms. This typically means it has a higher relative humidity (RH) than other rooms with the same water vapor pressure and is more susceptible to mold growth.
The amount of moisture in a room can be estimated by measuring both temperature and RH at the same location and at the same time. Suppose there are two cases. In the first case, assume that the RH is 30% and the temperature is 70F in the middle of the room. The low RH at that temperature indicates that the water vapor pressure (or absolute humidity) is low. The high surface RH is probably due to room surfaces that are “too cold.” Temperature is the dominating factor, and control strategies should involve increasing the temperature at cold room surfaces.
In the second case, assume that the RH is 50% and the temperature is 70F in the middle of the room. The higher RH at that temperature indicates that the water vapor pressure is high and there is a relatively large amount of moisture in the air. The high surface RH is probably due to air that is “too moist.” Humidity is the dominating factor, and control strategies should involve decreasing the moisture content of the indoor air.
