Mold Detection & Remediation for Condos & Homes

High humidity and excess moisture create ideal conditions for mold and mold spores to thrive, especially in a climate like Puerto Vallarta. At Puerto Vallarta Owners Reps, we specialize in identifying and addressing mold-related issues in your property to ensure a healthier indoor environment.  

Our comprehensive mold assessment process is designed to accurately detect and identify mold growth, focusing on areas prone to moisture buildup:

• Targeted Sampling: We typically take 2-4 samples per unit, with a focus on bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms, and visibly affected surfaces like walls and ceilings.
• Effective Testing Methods: Our testing utilizes petri dishes, which are effective for both surface testing (swab samples) and air sampling to capture an accurate representation of airborne mold spores throughout your home. Surface or swab tests are performed on visibly affected areas to identify mold species and concentration levels.
• Initial Identification: Our sampling process provides initial identification of mold species and associated health risks. For a detailed, lab-based analysis, including species verification and precise spore counts, an additional service is available.
• Expert Oversight: Reports are reviewed and approved by professionals experienced in indoor air quality, construction methods and materials, and licensed architects with mold remediation experience.
• Non-Invasive Inspection: Our inspection methods effectively capture airborne mold spores without opening walls, ceilings, or investigating behind built-in furniture or fixtures, thus avoiding unnecessary disruption or spreading spores.

Remediation and Prevention

Should remediation be necessary, we ensure an objective process:

• Separate Teams: Separate teams manage the reporting and remediation, ensuring impartiality. We collaborate with a qualified, experienced contractor with licensed architects trained in best practices for moisture remediation.
• Effective Remediation Strategies: Most mold problems in Puerto Vallarta can be effectively remedied through proper building repairs.
• Advanced Air Purification: We also offer Photohydroionization (PHI), an advanced active air purification technology. This method uses UV light and a catalyst to generate low-level airborne hydrogen peroxide, a naturally occurring compound that actively neutralizes mold spores, significantly enhancing your home's indoor air quality.
• Post-Remediation Verification: Post-remediation testing is available as an additional service to verify the success of the remediation and ensure mold issues have been thoroughly addressed.
