Homeowners in Matawan, New Jersey often contact us after discovering visible mold growth inside their home. In a recent inspection, the homeowner found physical growth inside a closet and wanted to understand whether it was an active mold issue or something left behind from the past. Situations like this are common, especially in New Jersey homes that have experienced prior water damage. While visible growth can be concerning, it doesn’t always mean mold is currently spreading or impacting indoor air quality.
During this Matawan mold inspection, air quality testing was performed to determine whether mold spores or particulates were present in the air. The results showed that there were no elevated mold particulates indoors, indicating the mold was not active at the time of testing. The growth was determined to be the result of previous water damage that had already been corrected, and the material had simply gone unnoticed until recently. This type of mold testing helps homeowners confirm whether a situation is an active concern or a historical issue, allowing them to take the appropriate next steps without unnecessary remediation.
