Mold Inspection Services in Baltimore, Maryland

If you have detected mold growth within your Baltimore, MD residential or commercial property, it’s time to call on the team at East Coast Mold Remediation for mold remediation services. Mold is an airborne fungus and can easily spread from one area to another and become a breathing hazard for your building’s inhabitants if not taken care of promptly. It’s important to undergo a professional mold inspection to help with early mold detection, mold prevention, and improved indoor air quality.

Do You Have Mold in Your Home?

Our mold inspection services help identify the presence of mold and work to define the size of the problem. Our mold inspection process is straightforward and thorough.

1. Our team of mold removal specialists discusses any areas where you have seen mold, moisture or water damage.
2. We thoroughly look in all the places where mold is known to hide and thrive. These places can include:
   • Under sinks
   • Under grout and tiles
   • On showerheads
   • Under bathroom rugs
   • HVAC vents/ducts
   • Fireplace and chimney
   • Washing machines
   • Behind refrigerators
   • Attics
   • Basements
   • Garages
   • Crawl spaces

   (If we suspect that the mold is growing in a hard-to-reach spot, like behind your bathroom wall, we may have to remove a section of drywall or paneling to get a better look at the damage.)

3. Once the mold is detected, we will work to find the source of the moisture that is causing the mold growth and begin devising a plan of action for the remediation process.

What Are the Most Common Types of Mold?

We look for a wide variety of common molds during our mold inspections. If left untreated, these molds have the potential to cause serious health risks. Some of the most common molds include: Alternaria, Aspergillus, Aureobasidium, Chaetomium, Cladosporium, Fusarium, Penicillium, Stachybotrys Chartarum, Serpula Lacrymans, Trichoderma, and Ulocladium. Check out our “Common Types of Mold” page to learn more about these mold types. If you’re concerned about the possibility of black mold in your home, learn more at our page of Black Mold FAQ.

It’s important to reach out to us right away if you’ve noticed any of these molds within your home or business so we can assess the damage and provide you with mold remediation services to preserve your home and health.

What Is an Indoor Environmental Professional?

Since there are no federal regulations on mold, it’s highly recommended to also have an independent Indoor Environmental Professional (IEP) perform a mold inspection and testing of your entire space to uncover any additional or hidden areas of mold throughout your structure and ensure that all areas of mold are addressed and remediated. An IEP’s job is to assess the fungal ecology of properties, systems, and contents and work to create a sample strategy, sample the indoor environment, interpret laboratory data, and determine the condition of the mold issue.

Once the IEP concludes this status, the scope of work can be established. This pre-remediation assessment is needed so our team can see how to tackle your home or business’s unique remediation needs. IEP’s are very helpful with mold remediation due to their extensive knowledge and willingness to bring clarity to every project.

We can recommend an independent IEP to perform a mold inspection as an additional way to help ensure that your structure and its occupants are safe from mold.
