Riverside County, CA Air Quality Testing
Air sampling MAY BE necessary to quantify and monitor the level of mold spores, dust mites, allergens, danders, chemical pollutants, and humidity. Air quality testing is also necessary for clearance at the conclusion of all mold remediation procedures.
Riverside County, CA Direct Surface Sampling
When mold is visible, direct surface sampling is recommended. This sampling method can determine the types of molds present. However, it is not an accurate measure of the quantity of airborne mold spores present at the time of testing.

State of the Art Mold Inspection
Riverside County is a beautiful suburban area in Southern California. Its miles of wide-open spaces, stunning views, and sunny weather make it an ideal spot to settle down. However, no matter where you live, indoor mold can find a way to cause trouble inside.
Mold grows in areas that have been exposed to moist or damp air. Outdoor mold is an important part of the Riverside ecosystem, but indoor mold can be harmful and dangerous. If indoor mold is left untreated, it can cause poor indoor air quality and lead to health problems such as allergies and respiratory illnesses. Over time, mold can even cause serious structural damage to your Riverside property.
How Do You Know if You Have a Mold Issue?
Consider the recent climate in Riverside County. Humid air or heavy rainfall can contribute to a damp indoor environment and lead to mold growth. Other signs of indoor mold include musty odors or discoloration on walls, carpets, or clothing. If you have concerns about mold in your home, Guaranteed Property Inspections can help. We provide expert mold inspections and mold testing services to homeowners throughout Riverside County.
Our team of expert mold inspectors will search your entire property for mold growth and provide you with a written report of our findings. This report will include what is causing the hold, its location, and the various types identified. You can read more about our mold inspection services here.
Frequently Asked Questions
Related experience in construction or engineering is helpful, but is no substitute for training and experience in the unique discipline of home inspection. If the inspection is for a commercial property, then this should be asked about as well.
If a general home inspector identifies areas that may have actual visible mold or areas of suspected mold, they will most likely red flag the suspect area and consult their client to have the area(s) evaluated further by a properly certified mold inspection firm. If this is the case with your home, do not panic! We can come to your property and provide a site assessment of the areas of concern and confirm whether mold contamination is present or not. If the laboratory returns a report that shows that fungi were not detected during analysis, then we can provide a report stating that the suspect areas do not contain any findings of concern via our investigation and data received by the accredited laboratory. If the laboratory confirms that, in fact, mold contamination is present, then we will provide you with a detailed report which includes a scope of work so you as the client know exactly what to expect for a successful mold remediation/removal. We also can provide our clients with a list of properly certified mold remediation companies.
If your home has been tested positive for mold and a proper comprehensive mold investigation has been completed by an ACAC accredited mold inspector/hygenist, you must contact an ACAC/IICRC certified mold remediation/removal contractor to review our report, make a site visit and provide you a detailed written estimate for work to be performed. Once you have hired an accredited remediation contractor and the contractor notifies you that the work is complete and areas are ready for post-remediation clearance, you must retain the hiring ACAC certified mold inspection company to inspect and re-assess the area(s) to ensure all mold has been removed successfully. An indoor air quality sample must be taken from outside of the property, and one within the specified containment to ensure that the air quality is within a normal fungal ecology, and the build back of the areas may begin. Once air sample analysis has been returned by an AIHA accredited third-party laboratory indicating a normal fungal ecology, you will be provided a clearance report certifying that remediation efforts were completed successfully and to industry standards.
People may be exposed to asbestos in their workplace, their communities, or their homes. If products containing asbestos are disturbed, tiny asbestos fibers are released into the air. When asbestos fibers are breathed in, they may get trapped in the lungs and remain there for a long time. Over time, these fibers can accumulate and cause scarring and inflammation, which can affect breathing and lead to serious health problems. Asbestos has been classified as a known human carcinogen (a substance that causes cancer) by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and the International Agency for Research on Cancer. According to IARC, there is sufficient evidence that asbestos causes mesothelioma (a relatively rare cancer of the thin membranes that line the chest and abdomen), and cancers of the lung and larynx. Mesothelioma is the most common form of cancer associated with asbestos exposure. Asbestos exposure may also increase the risk of asbestosis, an inflammatory condition affecting the lungs that can cause shortness of breath, coughing, and permanent lung damage.
Each Air Quality test consists of two samples, one from the suspected area, and one base sample from outside to compare the two. General indoor air quality testing duration normally lasts between 10-15 minutes per sample, plus set up a time for equipment. However, if a client would like to determine the prolonged exposure potential to suspected airborne contaminants we also offer a 24-48 hour air monitoring system to show a more accurate depiction of the home's indoor air quality.
