Wondering if You Need a Mold Inspection for Your Rancho Bernardo, California Property?

Please answer these questions to find out if you really need to have a mold testing done at your residence or building.

1. Do you have an odd, moldy or musty smell where you live, work or even on some of your belongings? 
2. Do you feel better when you are not at home or at work? 
3. Have you had a water leak?
4. Do you get condensation on the inside of your windows?
5. Does water puddle up against the outside of your property?
   

If you answered yes to any of these questions you may need a mold inspection! The sooner the better because the mold will continue to grow and spread if you don’t take action!

Most of the questions I brought up above relate to water.  That is because mold needs water, moisture or dampness to be able to grow, but there are many other reasons to have a mold or indoor air quality inspection performed.

If you are buying a home or building, we can help you find out if you need to be worried about mold or the air quality inside the building. Real estate is a huge investment and it is best to know as much about the property as you can before you sign those escrow papers. You don’t want to purchase a property and end up having the headaches of a mold problem or the additional expenses for unexpected mold repairs!

If you are renting a property, you don’t want to move in and have to deal with the disturbance of having mold repairs done or even worse, your landlord doesn’t do the repairs at all and you have to move again and fight over your lease.

 Let us give you peace of mind that your home, business or workplace has good indoor air quality.

Environmental Testing & Technology Inc., (ET&T), specializes in mold testing for all types of buildings in the Rancho Bernardo area of San Diego. We have been performing high quality mold inspections and testing since our local company was founded in 1986 in Encinitas, California.  We have inspected and mold tested apartments, condominium complexes, homes, large and small businesses, hotels and resorts located in and around Rancho Bernardo. We have worked for homeowners, tenants, building owners, realtors, property management companies and lawyers to determine if there are mold or indoor air quality problems or not. 

We are very familiar with the inland climate of Rancho Bernardo with rain in the winter and the hot dry days of the summer. Water gets inside during the winter through window leaks, roof leaks and poor drainage. In the summer, we run the air conditioner 24/7 and the humidity can’t get. A large portion of the year is dry, so we need to water year round. Sprinkler overspray and poor drainage are frequent causes of mold indoors because the exterior walls get wet. Even though we think of the walls of the house as providing protection from outside, stucco and many building materials are porous and let moisture in.

If you do have a mold problem, ET&T can write the repair instructions, called a Scope of Work, for the mold removal (mold remediation) company to follow.  We also do clearance or post remediation verification (PRV) mold testing and inspections to make sure the mold remediation company did their job right and got rid of the mold problem. The clearance report is very important.  It is your proof you have taken care of the mold problem and provides peace of mind for you, your tenants and employees.  The clearance report is extremely import documentation if you want to sell or rent your property.

We are a third party testing company and don’t do the repair work, some believe it is a conflict of interest to be the testing company and the repair company too.
