MOLD: Mold Inspection: Our inspector will inspect the home for visible mold. If there is waht appears to be visible mold, take swab samples if the client wants it done. Air Sampling: Air Sampling is routinely performed by taking three different sample locations inside and outside of the structure. If there is visible mold at different locations of the structure (baasement, attic, bathroom, etc), or if the building has large square footage, then more samples may be necessary to follow ESA Guidelines. Note - Most homes have some level of mold spores in the air.

We recommend contacting a septic company who is certified by the Pennsylvania Septic Management Association.
