Mold Testing

Mold can come in various forms and some are worse than others. In residential areas, mold is common because there is both wet and dry air present. The most common type of mold that everyone knows best is black mold. Mold that smells musty or can be seen in plain daylight is never a good sign. If you unexpectedly experience the symptoms below, this means that there is a high possibility of mold existence in your home.

The presence of mold can exacerbate existing health conditions like asthma and create sickness in otherwise healthy people. Some symptoms of mold sickness can include:

Spores float around in the air and enter into the lungs. Indoor air quality tests are used in commercial mold testing. These tests are designed to easily identify mold spores in the air.
