Les, again for my education, why do you state the report is crap? Yes there is many more pages about mold but I thought the only relevant part ofr this discussion would be the page I posted. I am open to any and all guidance and education. Thanks

Jim, thanks for the input and directions. I will pursue some moisture testing.

Chad, I agree the dander count is extremely high. There are 2 adults living in this home. No pets of any kind. Housekeeping/cleaning is very good. Two questions. 1: Why do you assume the report is crap? It is the result of 1 air sample from in the house and a control sample from outside. 2: Any one have any idea what would cause such high dander counts? I am just trying to figure this out, to help out the family that lives there and educate myself at the same time.

First I am a house inspector and have been through mold inspection/testing training. But really don't do mold as part of my business. I am trying to help out a disabled vet. They live in a 3 sided berm home. Home is 30ish years old. About 4-5 years ago the house was gutted down to the concrete walls due to a termite issue. So it has new 2x4 walls, drywall on walls and ceiling. Humidity runs 45-60% depending on the season. Due to continued allergy and flu like symptoms he wanted to run a air quality check for pollen's, mold's, etc. Please see attached file for test results. My questions. I want to make sure we understand what needs to be done and the correct process to treat the home. Trying to be an informed consumer so that when we talk with remediation companies we are sure they are taking the correct approach and not trying to take advantage and or gouge him. Based on the report is whole house remediation required? Since there is no visible mold or visible damp areas how would you re-mediate the house? Since there is no visible molds or damp area would you wipe down the entire interior with a antimicrobial solution, paint it with KIltz or use some type of treatment like a fogger or other aerosol type machine/process to treat the entire house? etc etc etc. Are there any type of air exchanger/air treater/air filter machine that treat the air and keep the mold out? THANKS in advance for your information. MoldTest-Doc.pdf
