HOW A PROFESSIONAL MOLD INSPECTION PROTECTS YOUR HOME | AVL-HANDYMAN LLC

A healthy home is the best home—and at AVL-Handyman LLC, we’re here to help you keep it that way. Mold isn’t just a cosmetic issue; it can harm your health and weaken your property’s structure. Whether you’re a homeowner, landlord, or business owner, our certified mold professionals provide thorough inspections, actionable solutions, and peace of mind. Here’s what you can expect from a professional mold inspection with us:

EXTERIOR INSPECTION: STOP MOLD BEFORE IT ENTERS

We start outside because preventing mold begins with stopping moisture at its source. Our team examines:

- Roof and gutters for missing shingles, clogs, or drainage issues that could funnel water indoors.

- Foundation and landscaping for cracks, poor grading, or plants trapping moisture against walls.

- Windows and doors for broken seals or gaps that invite dampness.

Using thermal imaging cameras and moisture meters, we spot hidden risks you might miss. After all, a dry home is a mold-resistant home!

INDOOR ASSESSMENT: LEAVE NO CORNER UNCHECKED

Inside, we combine sharp eyes with advanced tools to find mold—even if it’s hiding:

- High-risk zones like bathrooms, basements, attics, and under sinks get extra attention.

- HVAC systems, including air ducts and filters, are checked for spores that could spread through your home or business.

- Hidden spaces like inside walls, under floors, or above ceilings are inspected with borescopes.

If there’s a musty smell, water stains, or mystery allergies in your household, we’ll trace the cause.

SWAP TESTING: WHAT’S GROWING ON YOUR SURFACES?

If we see visible mold, we’ll perform swap testing (surface sampling):

- Gently collect samples with sterile swabs or tape.

- Send them to a lab to identify the species (e.g., harmless Aspergillus vs. toxic Stachybotrys).

This helps us customize a remediation plan that fits your needs.

AIR TESTING: IS YOUR AIR SAFE TO BREATHE?

Mold spores can float unseen, so we test your air quality:

- Compare indoor and outdoor air samples using spore traps.

- Lab results show if your indoor spore counts are higher than normal—a red flag for hidden mold.

Whether it’s your family’s home or a commercial space, clean air matters.

YOUR REPORT: CLEAR, HONEST, AND PRACTICAL

No confusing jargon here! Our report includes:

- Photos and diagrams to visually highlight problem areas.

- Easy-to-read lab results explaining mold types and risks.

- Custom recommendations for remediation, moisture control, and prevention.

We’ll walk you through every detail and answer questions like, “Is this urgent?” or “Can I stay in my home during cleanup?”
