Mold Testing and Inspections
Mold isn’t just a problem in old or dirty spaces — it can grow anywhere, even in the cleanest homes, offices, and buildings. All it takes is a little moisture from leaks, flooding, or humidity for mold to thrive.
The problem? Mold often grows where you can’t see it — behind walls, under floors, and inside HVAC systems. Many property owners don’t realize there’s an issue until it starts affecting air quality and health.
Mold And Your Health
Understanding mold and its impacts
-
There are over 100,000 types of molds, including black mold and other toxic varieties.
-
Mold spreads by releasing microscopic spores into the air, which can be easily inhaled.
-
Certain types of molds, commonly known as black mold, produce poisonous mycotoxins.
-
In extreme situations, prolonged exposure to high concentrations of toxic mold can cause severe illness.
When To Get Tested For Mold
-
When you notice a musty odor or see visible signs of mold
-
After a flood, plumbing leak, or sewage back-up
-
If people or pets are experiencing allergy-like symptoms
-
Before starting any mold remediation work
-
When a basement, attic, or other area remains damp or humid
-
Before buying or selling a home or property, especially if a home inspection revealed possible mold concerns
Test Before You Remediate
If you suspect you have mold, the first step is to call an independent mold testing company — one that does not perform mold removal or remediation.
Why is this important? Because you want an honest, unbiased assessment of your situation. After conducting professional mold testing, you’ll receive a clear, detailed report outlining the recommended steps for safe and effective mold removal.
