Mold Testing
We offer mold inspections and testing services across New Jersey to assist building owners and homeowners in identifying the presence of mold. Our team has expertise in conducting mold inspections, tracking moisture, and testing for residential, commercial, new construction, and renovation projects.
What Is Mold?
Molds are microscopic organisms that break down dead organic matter. The spores and hair-like structures of mold colonies are too tiny to be seen with the naked eye. When mold grows in large quantities, it often appears as black, blue, or green. The color of mold is influenced by the type, nutrient source, surface substrate, and colony age.
Mold requires water to grow, as well as a food source, oxygen, and a temperature between 40 and 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Mold thrives on materials made of wood, such as paper, drywall, and other similar substances. It prefers damp or wet conditions, and high humidity provides sufficient moisture for mold to grow on surfaces.
Why is Mold Testing Important?
Building materials that have been water-damaged due to roof leaks, plumbing issues, or excessive permeation through exterior brick may support the growth of mold, fungi, and bacteria. The presence of such species may pose a health hazard to homeowners and building occupants. C.M. Burrows Inc. conducts sampling and inspection of the air and water media to identify any microbiological species present in a discreet manner.
Hiring A Professional Mold Inspector
Our mold inspection process involves a complete visual examination, careful collection of air samples, tape samples, swab samples, and laboratory analysis of samples. If mold is present, our inspector will provide a written evaluation describing the type, location, and levels of mold, as well as recommendations for prevention or correction.
