Mold Inspection
Mold grows in buildings where there is excessive moisture and organic matter, creating an environment conducive to its growth. These temperature and humidity conditions allow mold spores in the air to settle and proliferate, highlighting the importance of proper moisture management and ventilation to prevent mold growth in buildings and thus prevent potential health risks to occupants and deterioration of buildings.
Do you suspect mold in your environment? Have you noticed changes that concern you? The Strata Conseils team can help you see more clearly. We can also help you if problems arise with our mold decontamination service. décontamination de moisissures.
OUR METHOD
01
RELEVANCE
Moisture
Water leaks, seepage, drainage problems, water damage, or uncontrolled high humidity in areas such as bathrooms, basements, or kitchens promote mold growth.
Inadequate Ventilation
Poor air circulation prevents damp surfaces from drying, creating conditions conducive to mold growth, especially in confined areas.
Defective Insulation
Inefficient insulation can promote condensation and moisture accumulation, which are conducive to mold growth.
Undetected Leaks
Leaks in roofs, windows, pipes, or foundations can introduce moisture, creating an environment conducive to mold growth.
02
PROCESS
- Thorough visual inspection of suspicious areas for visible signs of mold such as stains, discoloration, or deformation.
- Samples of indoor air , surfaces, or materials are collected for laboratory analysisto identify the type of mold present and its concentration.
- Samples of Moisture measurements are also taken to detect areas with abnormal moisture levels that promote mold growth. sont également effectuées pour détecter les zones présentant des niveaux anormaux d’humidité favorisant la croissance des moisissures.

INTERPRETATION
OF RESULTS
All these observations and analyses are compiled in a detailed report that includes specific recommendations to remedy the problem, such as isolating the affected area to prevent spread, identifying and repairing the source of moisture responsible for mold growth, and cleaning the area using specific methods to eliminate mold.
At the same time, improving ventilation and maintaining adequate humidity levels in the building are essential to prevent mold from reappearing.
