What kills mold spores in the air?

This mold test will provide valuable information about what you are inhaling inside a property. We take air samples from within the property and then impact everything onto the spore cassette. The outside air sample is taken at the same time in order to assess any molds that may be present around the property. This baseline is then used for comparison.

The inspection will reveal the kind of testing required to properly assess the extent mold growth on the property. The samples are sent to an accredited microbiology laboratory for analysis. Results will be available within 24hrs.

Every one of our highly qualified inspectors has been licensed, certified, trained and certified to provide excellent customer service. What goes into an Elite Mold inspection you ask? Here's a video that highlights Elite Mold services and gives you a glimpse of what happens during an inspection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Paint over mold does not kill it. Mold-resistant paint only works to proactively prevent mold, NOT reactively kill mold. Kilz and Zinsser make primers that claim to kill mold, but you should still remove the mold before using either of these products. There are mold-inhibiting additives you can add to paint.

Inflammation: Mold spores act as irritants, which can trigger the body to mount an immune response. This can lead to inflammation throughout the body. Inflammation in the brain can impair cognitive function, and in the case of chronic inflammation, this can lead to long-lasting cognitive impairment.

Do air purifiers help with mold? Air purifiers help capture mold spores from the air, preventing them from reproducing and spreading throughout your home. While air purifiers won't help treat active mold that's already present on surfaces, they are a great way to control the spread of airborne mold particles.

It's often described as musty and earthy, and may even smell like rotting vegetables or plants. You might notice a musty smell, but not be able to see any mold growing. In this case, you should look for areas that might be exposed to water.
