Mold inspections are an involved process. For this reason, property inspections are often completed over the course of several days. However, there are several companies that offer same-day services. Learn more about same-day inspections and testing processes and when this option makes the most sense.

Same-Day Mold Services

This faster service typically begins with a visual inspection of the property in question. As part of the inspection, a technician will look for mold, check for signs of excess humidity and moisture, and collect a surface sample from the area. To quickly process the sample, the technician will usually have a reader onsite that provides immediate feedback about the presence of mold. Some readers can identify the type of mold present as well, which allows the remediation process to begin much faster. 

When Faster Testing Makes Sense

Here are just some of the scenarios when same-day services should be the go-to solution.

Health Risks

If there is anyone in your home that suffers from a respiratory medical condition, it's critical to have your home tested as soon as possible. For any person with a respiratory condition, mold spores in the air can cause issues like throat irritation, wheezing, eye irritation, and nasal congestion. However, in more severe cases, exposure to mold can cause a lung infection. Prompt testing and results ensure everyone in the home is safe. 

Tenant-Landlord Scenarios

If you are the owner of a property and there is a tenant with a concern about mold, immediate testing is always a good idea. The laws are not very forgiving when it comes to mold and tenants. In fact, in many places, even a concern about mold can give a tenant legal ground to break their lease. Performing a mold inspection and test will give the tenant the confidence they need to know that the unit they are renting is safe and shows them that you care about their concerns. 

Property Sales

The housing market is very competitive in many areas. With so many homes on the market, if you find a buyer that is interested, you need to do everything in your power to keep them interested. Rather than lose a buyer over a concern with mold, performing a same-day mold test will provide immediate results and keep the potential buyer focused on your property so that you can close the deal. 

Do you need same-day testing? If so, contact a mold inspection professional from a company like Common Sense Inspections to get the process started right away and to ensure your property is safe.
