HOW DO YOU TEST FOR MOLD?
There are two typical methods of testing for mold. One is air sampling, where air samples are taken inside the home and outside for comparison. The other is a swab of the visible mold or stain to determine the type of mold.
What kind of mold is in my house? Is it toxic?
Mold cannot be identified by sight, and there are thousands of species of mold. The first step of our job is to collect samples and have them analyzed by a laboratory.
Mold is everywhere and it is not uncommon to find it in a home. It enters the house through openings or heating, and mold spores that attach to people and animals. It will grow in places where a water event has occurred or because of wet building materials.
How can I stop mold?
Look for visible signs of water damage or heavy moisture build up. Have these sources of water intrusion corrected, and this will lessen the chances for mold growth. Mold activity can occur as soon as 24 hours after a water loss.
