Mold can damage a building and it can affect the health of the people living in it, from cold-like allergy symptoms to infections of the sinuses, skin or digestive system. That is a good reason to test before you move your family into a new home.
Moisture is what mold needs: high humidity, poor ventilation, condensation, leaks, flooding, damp basements and even drying laundry all contribute. Given the right dark, warm and damp conditions, mold can start growing in less than 24 hours.
Where mold is commonly found
- Walls and ceilings
- Windows

How a mold inspection helps
A certified inspector can find the areas at risk so you can deal with them. Not all mold is harmful, and testing tells you what you are dealing with: tests can reveal signs of hidden mold, measure indoor air quality and identify the species present. Grant will recommend the right tests for your situation.
Impartial by design
In line with the New Jersey Department of Health and the EPA, Patten Inspections LLC does not remediate the mold it finds. There is nothing to sell you afterwards, so the report is objective and written only in your interest.
