So I was working on a report yesterday for a client and saw something interesting.

They had a high ERMI result, but no significant sources of mold in the home.

How could this happen? Where is it coming from?

In this episode I describe this project (and actually read from the report) to share what I think is happening, and how I developed my plan for next steps and further investigation.

Today I’m talking through an assessment I did yesterday of a home built in the 1740s!

It has obviously been renovated, but there are some great lessons we can pull from this one.

I specifically focus on the attic / basement, HVAC system and windows.

Then spend time talking though how to customize a sampling strategy to not break the bank.

In this episode I break each sampling method down. Learn the strengths and weaknesses of each and which one I use in my assessments.

What does it mean if an ERMI sample can’t be analyzed because there wasn’t enough dust collected?

Does it mean there is no mold problem?

Or is it inconclusive?

It could mean a couple things. Listen how I interpret this and what other information can help clear up the confusion.

New homes can’t have mold right?

Not necessarily.

Typically, a newer home is better when it comes to reducing the chance of significant mold issues in the home. However, due to our building practices, not even new builds are immune to mold issues.

This episode gives a few tricks and tips for how to ensure your new build starts with a clean mold slate.
