Santa Ana Mold Inspection
Mold Inspection is important because it will bring to light some of the hidden issues you may not even be aware of within your home. Mold is a sort of fungus that can become airborne, and settles on wet or damp surfaces both outside and inside of the home. The spores from the fungus inside a home can often cause many health problems, ranging from dermatitis, allergies, headaches, asthma, sinus problems, fatigue, emphysema, eye irritation, dizziness, and confusion. The areas where mold is most prevalent aren’t just in the bathroom, but also the kitchen, attics and basement. Having a mold inspection is important for a home or property owner because older buildings can often have more places for the mold to thrive. Newer homes may also have mold, but it is more likely in the older buildings due to leaks and different areas of dampness.
What Mold Removal and Mold Inspections Are All About
When the company arrives on site, they bring with them tools that will aid in performing a proper mold inspection, and without the use of these tools a proper mold inspection can’t be done: thermal imaging cameras, hygrometers, moisture meters, air sampling machines, mold swabs, but most off all certified and experience.
The combination of tools along with a trained, experienced and certified mold removal & remediation inspector are necessary to determine the right scope of work needed to complete the mold removal and remediation work safely and effectively. Also to identify the causes of the mold and determine the best way to fix the issues and problems that caused the mold.
Mold can be cleaned or wiped down in some cases, depending on the surface, or how deep the mold has penetrated ( i.e. – on a window that has no organic material you can see mold growth due to dust and condensation, this can usually be wiped down with soap and water), but if there is any doubt, call the people that got professional training and certification, have learned everything there is to know and have experience with mold inspection and removal.
Inspections should have pictures that they can share with you from previous sites so you can see what expert set ups are necessary in a proper mold removal and remediation project. Also to get a proper idea of what you can expect throughout the process of mold removal. Videos of ice or soda blasting are also available.
Your mold remediation company should keep you updated throughout the mold removal process, and provide you with pictures and a written report of your mold removal project. They can also provide a completion report when the project is finished.
Santa Ana, CA
Santa Ana, city, seat (1889) of Orange county, southern California, U.S. It lies at the base of the Santa Ana Mountains, on the Santa Ana River. It was explored by the Spaniard Gaspar de Portolá in 1769, and Juan Pablo Grijalva was subsequently (1801) given a land grant for the area, which he named Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana and developed for cattle grazing and agriculture. William H. Spurgeon purchased part of the land from Grijalva’s heirs and laid out a town in 1869. The community developed as a centre for the farm produce of the Santa Ana valley after the Southern Pacific Railroad connected it (1878) to Los Angeles. Nearby military installations and freeway construction spurred residential and industrial growth after World War II. Santa Ana is the county seat and second most populous city in Orange County, California, and with a population of 324,528 at the 2010 census, Santa Ana is the 57th-most populous city in the United States. Founded in 1869, Santa Ana is located in Southern California adjacent to the Santa Ana River, 10 miles (16 km) away from the California coast. The city is part of the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Santa Ana metropolitan area which, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, is the second largest metropolitan area in the U.S., with almost thirteen million people. According to the 2000 U.S. Census, of U.S. cities with more than 300,000 people, Santa Ana is the 4th-most densely populated behind only New York City, San Francisco, and Chicago, and slightly denser than Boston. Santa Ana lends its name to the Santa Ana Freeway (I-5), which runs through the city. It also shares its name with the nearby Santa Ana Mountains, and the infamous Santa Ana winds, which have historically fueled seasonal wildfires throughout Southern California. The current Office of Management and Budget (OMB) metropolitan designation for the Orange County Area is “Santa Ana-Anaheim-Irvine, CA”.
