We will initially complete 2 mould air tests, one inside the affected area of the property and 1 outside. The outside sample is taken as a control and will tell us what is an acceptable level to achieve.<\/p>\n<p>Since mould is always present in the air, the two samples should be the same if there are no mould problems in the property.<\/p>\n<p>There may be more samples that will need to be taken.
