Mold Inspection Services
Mold spore colonies and mold problems are primarily associated with water intrusion issues. Water leaks, ice dams, pipe breaks, flooding, etc. play a major role in the formation and spreading of mold spores. Mold targets areas such as HVAC systems, associated ductwork, inner wall cavities, drywall components, ceilings, insulation materials, and many others.
Samples must be collected to determine the exact mold spore concentration and types of mold spores in the affected area or areas. Immediate action can be taken as a precaution until the samples are analyzed. Not all mold is visible, if you are feeling a mold-related allergy or suspect a mold problem, contact TEK or a mold specialist for an evaluation.
