Mold Testing
Molds are fungi and there is always some mold everywhere – in the air and on many surfaces. Molds have been on the Earth for millions of years. Mold will grow in places with a lot of moisture, such as around leaks in roofs, windows, or pipes, or where there has been flooding. Mold grows well on paper products, cardboard, ceiling tiles, and wood products. Mold can also grow in dust, paints, wallpaper, insulation, drywall, carpet, fabric, and upholstery.
Testing for Mold
Some people are sensitive to molds. For these people, molds can cause nasal stuffiness, throat irritation, coughing or wheezing, eye irritation, or, in some cases, skin irritation. People with mold allergies may have more severe reactions. If there is evidence of moisture in the home, or if it smells like mold, you should consider mold testing. If mold is found, it frequently indicates additional issues that need to be corrected.
Mold Remediation
Cleaning mold can be as easy as surface cleaning or as complicated as replacing components which may include walls, wallpaper, insulation, drywall, carpet, fabric, upholstery, cabinets, floors, and even the roof.
