MOLD DETECTION
AND SAMPLING
We generally encounter MOLD on a
daily basis, particularly in the damp
Mold grows on plants, grass, trees,
etc., outdoors. We can watch the evening news to get a report on pollen
and mold spore density as part of our weather reports. We’ve been
conditioned to refer to that time of year as ‘Allergy Season’. Mold
gets carried indoors on shoes, pets, children, playing in the yard, and so on.
Recently, the Medical Community is
reporting on and, is notably concerned with mold.
They are aware of and more concerned
with indoor mold in homes and buildings.
MOLD should not be growing on indoor
surfaces.
There are three types, or
classifications, of mold; Allergenic, Pathogenic and, Toxic.
Unfortunately, when mold begins
growing indoors, the occupants may suffer ill health.
Indoor environments are meant
to be dry. Mold requires a constant source of moisture and a food source to
thrive. Molds, most typically those that are indoors, feed and grow on woody,
cellulose materials such as framing, drywall, wallpaper, flooring and roof
decking as well as other parts of the home and indoor plants.
While it is important to note that
not all molds are dangerously toxic, they could in fact be a problem for anyone
sensitive to them. Many of the molds found do have the potential to
become toxic when left untreated and unresolved! All molds should be removed
with the proper treatments by the appropriate professionals. Mold must be
treated with an application of the proper antimicrobial or antifungal solutions
which may be both dangerous and delicate to use and apply.
There is much information on treating
mold and getting rid of problems causing it.
We’re sure you’ll have
questions…we can answer your questions.
While we can not list here the
hundreds of both visible and airborne molds, we can test and recommend the
proper professionals and/or treatment needed. It is important to know, if you
have extensive mold presence, toxic or not, it may have adverse affects on your
health and quality of life while living with live spores.
