Mold Investigation Testing and Instruments:GPI utilizes state of the art investigation instruments including the most advanced infrared imager that offers a non-invasive means of diagnosis of invisible plumbing and building envelope moisture problems. In addition an Airborne Particle Counter is used to determine the presence of invisible particles that can be an indication of mold contamination. HHPC-6. The airborne particle counter is a sophisticated laser based instrument that measures airborne particles in mold spore size ranges which are far too small to be seen, but may have a serious impact on air quality and therefore personal health and safety. The HHPC-6 also tests the relative humidity readings in the structure to determine the potential influence on mold growth. Moisture meters are also utilized at all accessible areas of suspected moisture instrusion into the property. Mold must have moisture levels above 15% to grow; GPI uses both a pin based and pinless moisture meter for suspect areas to avoid false negative findings. HVAC systems are tested for abnormal Carbon Monoxide levels with a carbon monoxide sensor. Abnormal carbon monixide readings can impact air quality and relative humidity levels which could impact mold growth opportunity and the health of occupants. Mold Sampling:As a result of the preliminary mold investigations, additional mold sampling options are available to determine the specific type of mold(s) present as well as the quantity of the contamination. Mold samples are analyzed by a degreed microbiologist at an ISO/IFC 17025 accredited laboratory. Based on laboratory results GPI produces a comprehensive remediation protocal report for mold abatement. Lab results can be produced within a 24to 48 hour period. Surface Sampling:When mold is visible, direct surface sampling is recommended. This sample method can determine types of molds present, however it is not an accurate measure of quantity of airborne mold spores present at the time of testing. Air Quality Testing:Air sampling is necessary to quantify the amount of mold spores in the air at the time of the inspection.
