While there are DIY mold test kits available, they often lack the accuracy and depth of a professional mold inspection. Many DIY tests don’t provide detailed information about the type or concentration of mold, which is crucial for effective remediation. Professional inspections also use advanced technology like infrared detection to find mold hidden in walls or ceilings. For the most reliable results, we recommend contacting a licensed inspector like CORE TEAM Inc.

If you have concerns following your mold testing or inspection, we’ll work with you to address them and ensure that your property is safe. Our goal is to provide you with reliable and accurate results so that you can make informed decisions about your home or business.

For the majority of surfaces in your home, bleach won’t actually get rid of your mold problem. It’s the “iceberg effect.” Visible mold is usually a small percentage of the actual amount of mold growth. Bleach can’t kill mold on porous surfaces like wood, and while tile or fiberglass surfaces can be cleaned with bleach, often the mold has spread far deeper. The reason why mold remediation companies don’t recommend DIY cleanup isn’t that they want to make more money; they know, in their experience, that a mold problem is usually far more invasive than can be seen with the naked eye. Simply cleaning the surfaces can provide false assurances that you got rid of the mold, only to have it come back time and time again.

Depending on the cause of the water damage, homeowner's insurance may cover the costs. However, coverage varies, and policyholders should consult their insurance providers.

Most homeowners’ policies cover most water damages, but not all water damages are created equal. There can be a lot of exceptions to coverage depending on the intricacies of your policy. This is why it’s a good idea to be familiar with your policy and call your agent immediately when damage occurs.

Sometimes mold remediation is included if the cause of the mold was a “covered peril” like a burst hot water heater or water damage caused by firefighters extinguishing a fire in your house. Gradual water damage - like from a leaking pipe or hose - will often cause mold growth, but your insurance coverage will usually not cover that by claiming that it was caused by poor maintenance or neglect. If your insurance company denies your claim, you should request an inspection from a mold remediation company that can help you document the source of the mold.
