Why Have a Mold Test?
Mold testing and inspection consist of the process of discovering the location of the mold growth, how elevated the mold spore count is, what type of mold it is, the health issues related to that particular type of mold, the total area of exposure and determining the best method of remediation. Mold can pose potential harm to your health especially when exposed to large areas of mold growth or if you are allergic to mold in general.
Mold testing should always be done:
- If someone is sick in your home and you don’t know why.
- When purchasing a new home or a foreclosure investment.
- If there has been any type of water damage in your home.
- If you smell a musty odor.
- If you see any stains on your walls or ceilings.
- To establish a base spore count before a remediation or mold clean up begins.
- If you can see any white growth on your furniture or carpet.
- If you have had any plumbing issues or excessive moisture.
- If you have any standing water under your home.
- If your crawl space does not have a vapor barrier or is not properly encapsulated.
- If you or anyone in your home is having chronic headaches, dizziness, burning eyes, respiratory problems, allergies or flu-like symptoms.
- If you have small children, elderly or someone with an immune deficiency living in your home, because they can be easily and dramatically affected.
- After a remediation is completed, a post remediation test is needed in order to clear your home, giving it a clean bill of health.
