Mold
Testing
Why is mold growing in my home?
We provide three types of mold testing: Air, Swab, and Tape. Each test includes a visual inspection using a thermal camera and meters to accurately detect mold presence.
Molds are naturally occurring in the environment and serve a beneficial role outdoors by decomposing dead organic matter like leaves and trees. However, indoor mold growth should be prevented. Mold reproduces through tiny spores that are invisible and can travel through both indoor and outdoor air. Mold can start growing indoors when spores land on wet surfaces. It is important to note that mold requires water or moisture to grow, and there are various types of mold that can develop in these conditions.
Can mold cause health problems?
Mold can lead to health issues by producing allergens, irritants, and sometimes toxic substances. Exposure to mold or its spores can trigger allergic reactions, including hay fever symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, red eyes, and skin rash. Allergic responses can be immediate or delayed, and mold can also cause asthma attacks in mold-allergic individuals with asthma. Moreover, mold exposure can irritate the eyes, skin, nose, throat, and lungs of both allergic and non-allergic people. While symptoms other than allergic or irritant reactions are rare, ongoing research is being conducted on the health effects of mold.
