Crucial Component of a Microbial Investigation:

Find the definitive cause of the moisture problem which supports fungal growth and provide the instruction of corrective measures that will fix the condition.

If the moisture problem isn't thoroughly addressed or is misdiagnosed, the mold will return.

For example;
If there is known water intrusion around a window, it is very likely that there are other undetected flashing problems around the other windows since they will be from the same manufacturer and have most likely been installed with the same flashing methods.

Or;
If a humidity/vapor barrier problem is causing mold growth in one part of a building it is very likely causing the same problem in other parts.

Consider:
The landmark case in Texas that is said to be the start of the recognition of the mold problem; The initial investigation of the home was considered complete after finding a single source of water intrusion, additional sources were missed causing damage to such an extent that the house had to be demolished.

 
 
 
 
 
Arnold & Sons has been involved with the building science industry for over 25 years. This type of experience is paramount to correctly understanding and diagnosing water intrusion and water vapor problems. When interviewing a mold inspector ask him what type of experience he has had in the building industry.
