Kettle Moraine Home Inspections offers mold testing.  Mold is naturally in the world around us, including inside our homes.  When moisture levels rise due to humidity, leaks or damaged plumbing, mold spores have the opportunity to grow.

The presence of mold in the home may be linked to irritation of the lungs, skin, nose, eyes and throat.  Some individuals may be more sensitive to the presence of mold that others. 

While a standard home inspection does include looking for conditions that may conducive to mold growth, the only way to to determine the presence of mold is through testing.  By testing, the presence of mold can be confirmed and testing also helps determine if the airborne mold in the home is elevated when compared to the levels outside.

All mold samples collected by Kettle Moraine Home Inspections are sent to an independent lab for analysis.  The laboratory results, along with the visual observations recorded by the inspector may assist you in your plan to reduce mold levels in your home.  If a mold problem is found in your home, it should be immediately treated by a professional
