Mold
This air test detects mold contamination in the home. Mold is found in nature, and plays a pivotal part in breaking down dead organic matter. However, mold growth should not happen indoors.
Tiny mold spores can enter our homes through the air without us being able to notice. These tiny spores can then land and surfaces, and grow. Mold is often found in dark, damp areas, where bacteria growth thrives. Most commonly we see mold growth in bathrooms, basements, or anywhere moisture is present. The key to mold control is moisture control.
Testing for mold may be for you if you have recently experienced any of the following:
- Flooded basement
- Roof leak
- Plumbing leak
Often times we can see, or smell mold contamination. It appears somewhat fuzzy, and discolors whatever surface it's grown on.
Symptoms of mold contamination may include:
- Asthma attacks
- Skin, eye, nose, or throat irritation
- Sinus infections/excessive sneezing
