Where It's Found and Why
Mold exists in every environment, even the one in which you’re reading this. It can become a concern when certain types of mold reach elevated levels inside a space. It needs moisture and proper temperature to grow and spread. Inside a property, it is usually the result of excess moisture, high humidity, or poor ventilation, and the root cause needs to be addressed.
Toxic Mold and Health Effects
Mold itself is not toxic, but many types do produce mycotoxins. Stachybotrys Chartarum and Penecillium are two commons types of mold that produce mycotoxins. Symptoms depend on level and length of exposure and include: headaches, itching, rash, eye irritation, and potentially more serious health effects like kidney and liver disease.
MOLD TESTING PROCESS
Step 1 - Air Samples
We take multiple samples inside the property and a control sample outside. This allows the lab to determine if particulates inside the property are there and at what levels they are present.
Step 2 - Visible Growth Swabs
We will swab any visible microbial like growth present in the property. The samples allow the lab to determine what types of mold are present which helps determine remediation options.
Step 3 - Expedited Shipping
All samples, indoor air quality and visible mold, are shipped via FedEx to a certified laboratory.
Step 4 - Detailed Report
The certified laboratory produces a report quickly after receiving the samples. The report documents if there are particulates in the property at elevated levels, and support staff is available to answer questions.
