Faroe Islands Mold & indoor Air Quality Consultant

A purpose onsite building environmental inspections and air and bulk sampling is to identify possible irritants/bioaerosols: mold, mildew, pet dander, pollen, or other material which can cause respiratory distress or other complaints and in some cases serious illness. Consult with your physician for evaluation, treatment, and advice. If you are a qualified expert or service or product provider in this field you may be listed at this website at no fee - see LINK EXCHANGE INSTRUCTIONS.

Below is a directory of experts whom can be consulted for "sick house" or other building air quality, mold, mildew, dampness, odors, toxic gases, chemical exposure, or similar complaints, experts may perform a Phase I visual inspection expanded by actual bulk surface and air sampling combined with microscopic examination, and case histories to identify possible concerns. A separate directory of companies providing mold cleanup or mold remediation can be found at MOLD CLEANUP COMPANIES.

Watch out: First, should we be testing for mold at all? If you see mold on indoor surfaces, NO mold testing is needed to confirm that mold is present in a this building and that cleanup is needed. But if a large remediation project is planned, tests may be needed for project control - see When to identify mold?.

Before hiring any onsite test or investigation expert for a field investigation, inspection, or testing, be sure to review MOLD EXPERT, WHEN TO HIRE. Also, to avoid a conflict of interest we recommend that mold inspection, testing, or post-cleanup inspection and testing should be performed by an expert who has absolutely no financial or business relationship with the mold cleanup or mold remediation company.

To Look more carefully at the building yourself - this website has articles on how to look for problem mold, see these online guides:

  • How to look for mold - MOLD DETECTION & INSPECTION GUIDE
  • Appearance of mold - MOLD APPEARANCE - WHAT MOLD LOOKS LIKE
  • Stuff that is not mold - MOLD APPEARANCE - STUFF THAT IS NOT MOLD
  • How to use your flashlight - USING LIGHT TO FIND MOLD
  • How to inspect and test for mold in a home you are buying - BUYERS GUIDE - home inspections for mold

To Evaluate the leak and moisture history of your building see these instructions:

  • Overall building risk for mold - MOLD EXPOSURE RISK LEVELS, and if there seem to be particularly high risks (building history, what you see, complaints or health risks of occupants) it might be appropriate to hire an expert
  • When to Hire a Professional - MOLD EXPERT, WHEN TO HIRE helps decide if it’s appropriate to bring in an pro.

To Do your own Mold Testing use this procedure:

Collect DIY samples of what you see (you wont' address hidden mold in insulation or in building cavities by this method) using tape sampling described at TEST KITS for DUST, MOLD, PARTICLE TESTS

    The critique included in that article raises compelling questions about IgG testing assays, which prompts our interest in actually screening for the presence of high levels of particles that could carry allergens - dog dander or cat dander in the case at hand.

OTHER IAQ ISSUES: How To Find and Address Other Indoor Air or Indoor Environment Contaminants Besides Mold

Mold or allergens may not be the only or even the main indoor environmental contaminant. Don't let media attention to mold cause so much enviro-scare fear that other, possibly more urgent hazards go un-addressed.

  • Fiberglass building insulation and HVAC duct work insulation hazards
  • Sewage and Septic backup contamination in buildings: inspection, testing, remediation, & references to expert sources
  • Other environmental risks: Asbestos, carbon monoxide, electromagnetic fields, environmental illness, fiberglass, MCS - multiple chemical sensitivity, toxic gases, etc
  • Indoor Gas Sampling Plan for Residential Buildings lists a number of toxic indoor gases which we test for, depending on the building complaint and building conditions
  • Ozone Warnings - Use of Ozone as a "mold" remedy is ineffective and may be dangerous.
  • Pet control - if you can't say goodbye to your bird, cat, dog, guinea pig, hamster, tropical fish, then limit the areas they occupy and limit the airflow from that area to sleeping or other areas of the building, use allergenic bedding, eliminate wall-to-wall carpeting, improve housecleaning including use of a HEPA-rated vacuum cleaner. For more details see our article Dog, Cat, and Other Animal Dander - Information for Asthmatics and Indoor Air Quality
  • Rodents, Mice, Squirrel Control - I find high levels of mouse and rodent dander, fecal dust, and urine-contaminated dust in some buildings, and high levels of these materials in building insulation in those locations. If you have a mouse problem, particularly if mice and their waste (fecals or urine) are contaminating the building HVAC or building insulation, may need both steps to clean up or remove infected materials and steps to stop an ongoing rodent problem. If squirrels are a problem, the cleanup needs to include closing off entry openings into the building. Get some help from a licensed pest control expert.
