Lakeland Mold Removal

Mold Testing in Lakeland, FL

If you think mold is present in your home or business and would like an air quality test to be performed, FP Property Restoration of Lakeland will send out an Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC)-certified mold technician to perform an initial inspection. At that point, we may recommend an indoor air quality test to be performed. This test is performed by a separate, licensed mold assessor. The air quality tests taken are sent to a third-party laboratory for processing. Performing an air quality test will compare an outside sample to various samples in your home or business and tell us if there is an elevated level of mold spores present in the air.

Other forms of mold testing include tape and swab testing. These tests help identify mold on surfaces that are affected. When it comes to mold inspections and remediation, always ask for their licenses, testimonials, references, and insurance and liability coverage.
