Why Mold Inspection is Important?
Mold often develops in damp or poorly ventilated spaces, and its presence can have significant consequences if not addressed promptly. Here’s why mold inspection is essential:
Protects Health
Mold releases spores that can trigger respiratory problems, allergies, and skin irritation. Prolonged exposure can lead to severe health complications, especially for children, the elderly, and individuals with compromised immune systems.
Ensures Compliance
Both NY and NJ have mold-related regulations that property owners and businesses must follow. An inspection ensures you meet these requirements and avoid potential penalties.
Identifies Hidden Issues
Mold often grows in concealed areas such as behind walls, in HVAC systems, or under flooring. A professional inspection uncovers these hidden threats.
Supports Real Estate Transactions
For buyers and sellers, mold inspections are vital for transparent property evaluations and preventing disputes during the sale process.
Prevents Property Damage
Mold can deteriorate building materials like drywall, wood, and insulation, leading to costly repairs if left untreated.
Our Mold Inspection Process
At PITS Environmental, we follow a thorough and professional approach to mold inspections:
01
Initial Consultation
We discuss your concerns and gather information about the property, such as past water damage or visible mold signs.
02
Visual Assessment
Our inspectors examine the property for visible signs of mold, moisture damage, and poor ventilation.
03
Air and Surface Sampling
We collect air and surface samples to test for mold spores, even in areas without visible growth.
04
Moisture Detection
Using advanced tools, we identify moisture levels in walls, ceilings, and other areas where mold may grow.
05
Comprehensive Reporting
We provide a detailed report, including the presence and type of mold, moisture sources, and recommended remediation steps.
Mold Regulations in New York and New Jersey
Both NY and NJ recognize the health risks associated with mold and have established guidelines to ensure safety:
New York
The Mold Assessment and Remediation Act (Article 32) requires licensed mold assessment professionals for inspections and plans. Remediation plans are required for mold affecting over 10 square feet in homes, offices, or public buildings. This law helps ensure safe and effective mold removal practices.
New Jersey
While NJ lacks a specific mold law, landlords are obligated under the New Jersey Habitability Law to maintain mold-free living conditions. Public health agencies can intervene when mold poses a health risk.
