Mold Inspection & Identification

Mold Inspection & Identification

Everyone who lives in Columbia understands the climate most of the time – hot and humid. Since mold needs moisture to grow, it has unfortunately become prominent in the area, especially in buildings with moisture issues. Before our mold testing services in Columbia, SC, we always perform an initial inspection. Our licensed and insured contractors will begin the inspection by conducting a thorough analysis of the moisture in your home. When we determine the areas of high moisture, we will then investigate all possible areas where mold can be present. After identifying all areas of the mold, including any spores, Kingsley Water Damage Restoration will proceed with the mold testing to sample the mold and analyze it in a laboratory.

Mold Testing Process

Our Mold Testing Process

Kingsley Water Damage Restoration begins the mold testing process by performing a swab or tape lift, depending on the type of mold identified, to collect a sample. Our team will also collect a sample of the air by attaching a cassette to a specialized pump and pulling air through the cassette. We then secure the samples and transport them to our laboratory where for analysis. After we have determined the type of mold present in your home, we will send you a detailed report that includes any risks it may present to humans, pets, and property. By turning to us, your mold problem will be addressed & remediated ASAP.

Types of Mold We Commonly Find in South Carolina Homes & Offices

While the CDC does not require mold testing when performing remediation, it is important to understand the potential impact that mold can have on your health. All types of mold carry spores that can become airborne and are easily spread throughout your entire home or office via the vents in your HVAC system. Some types of mold, including toxic black mold, contain mycotoxins that can lead to severe illnesses in humans, including immune deficiency and acute poisoning. These are some of the most common types of mold we find in South Carolina homes when we perform a mold test or mold inspection:

  • Aspergillus: A common mold found in homes around the world, aspergillus thrives in moderate humidity and frequently grows in air conditioning systems, near bathroom and kitchen plumbing fixtures, and even on food. It can be allergenic and cause respiratory issues in humans.
  • Cladosporium: A black or green mold that can look like pepper, Cladosporium typically grows on painted surfaces, fiberglass, air ducts, and the back of toilets. It is not toxic to humans but it can cause allergy symptoms like red eyes, rashes, and a sore throat. It can also cause dry skin, hives, and postnasal drip.
  • Stachybotrys chartarum: The most dangerous type of mold found in South Carolina homes and offices, this toxic growth contains mycotoxins and is commonly known as black mold. Typically greenish-black in color, this mold typically grows on materials with high cellulose content like fiberboard, gypsum board, drywall, and paper. It often appears as a black stain in damp areas like a bathroom or kitchen and frequently grows in circular patterns. Black mold is considered the most toxic type of mold and can cause severe health issues, including nerve disorders, mood swings, and even death in humans with compromised immune systems.
