Professional Basement Mold Remediation Virginia

Basements can be especially vulnerable to mold development if you are not careful. Basements often suffer from dampness and insufficient air circulation. Water seepage through the foundation walls is a common obstacle as well. Once water is introduced to the environment, mold can quickly develop. Once mold takes hold in the porous building materials of your basement, it can rapidly spread due to conducive conditions.

The team at Mastertech Environmental of Tidewater is trained and certified determine if your basement has a mold problem, identify what caused the problem and develop a safe and effective basement mold remediation solution. Following a successful mold remediation, the necessary preventive measures must be put into place in order to prevent recurrence.

Why do I have mold in my basement?

Basements can be the ideal breeding ground for mold development. Where there is mold, there is an underlying moisture source contributing to the mold growth. Since basements are so vulnerable to moisture buildup, it is no wonder that it is one of the most common areas for mold. Here are some common moisture sources in basements that cause mold:

• High humidity – over 55%
• Water leaking or seeping through foundation walls
• Flooding
• Poor air circulation
• Condensation from ducts

Basement Mold Inspection Process Tidewater Region VA

If you suspect damp conditions have contributed to mold development in your basement, you should contact a certified mold inspector in Virginia to conduct a thorough basement mold inspection to get to the bottom of the problem.

Visual Assessment– A Mastertech inspector will complete a comprehensive visual analysis to identify any conditions that could promote and sustain basement mold growth. We will provide you thorough digital documentation for your records.

Moisture Mapping– Your inspector will carefully map out the damp or wet areas of your basement to determine where moisture starts and stops.

Moisture Meters: Moisture meters allow your inspector to read the moisture content of basement building materials. Moisture locked within porous building materials like foundation walls can easily go unnoticed for an extended period of time.

Thermal Imaging: Your mold inspector will use the temperature difference between wet and dry materials to determine what areas have been effected by the moisture. Your inspector will be able to clearly identify all wet areas and understand the full extent of damage.

Basement Mold Testing– Surface and/or air quality tests will provide scientific data that will confirm or deny the presence of mold. If mold is confirmed in your basement, the test results will help your inspector figure out the most appropriate course of action to resolve the mold issue.

Report of Findings– After completing a thorough mold inspection of your basement, your Mastertech mold inspector will compile a clear and concise report that outlines all his/her findings. If necessary, your inspector will present you with a detailed scope of work for a safe and effective basement mold remediation in Virginia.
