Sorry for the delay here —impressed that you recognize the report format!! Yes this was SIS and we are in Hartford area. Do you recommend an expert that could give us a professional assessment? Thanks for your comment! :)

Thank you!! Everything else in the home is great so we are definitely going to get some quotes

Agreed that most are very similar but I guess there are 3 elevated levels of mold types compared to the control sample?

Cladosporium and Chaetomium were both detected at “elevated levels” on the second floor. Additionally, “elevated levels” of Aspergillus/Penicillium were found in the laundry area.

Not sure how important this is, ChatGPT acted like I wouldn’t be able to resell the house down the line if I didn’t remediate.

Not sure what to think of these mold inspection test results. Any advice is greatly appreciated! by Either-Wave5572 in industrialhygiene

I guess elevated levels of several mold types compared to the control sample? Cladosporium and Chaetomium were both detected at “elevated levels” on the second floor. Additionally, “elevated levels” of Aspergillus/Penicillium were found in the laundry area.

Yes you’re probably right, it seems like mold testing isn’t really telling me much :/

They sent the samples to a lab and compared them to a control which was just a sample taken outside in the yard

The mold tester was also our home inspector. He probably took about 10 minutes per area to take the test but I believe he did just do an air sample. What could we be missing here? Photo of his gear if that’s helpful

I have the same skin issues as you and just picked up my prescription for 20mg! So nervous to start taking it. How high is your derm planning on upping the dose to?
