Why Test for Mold?Can Mold Cause Health Problems?
Allergic reactions to mold are common. They can be immediate or delayed. Molds can also cause asthma attacks in people with asthma who are allergic to mold. In addition, mold exposure can irritate the eyes, skin, nose, throat, and lungs of both mold-allergic and non-allergic people. Symptoms other than the allergic and irritant types are not commonly reported as a result of inhaling mold. Research on mold and health effects is ongoing. For more detailed information consult a health professional. You may also wish to consult your state or local health department. Contact us for your Free Initial Consultation. Although you may see or smell the mold in your home testing is still a priority in the beginning, and final stages of the removal. The initial test establishes what conditions and types of molds exist in the structure. This allows the remediation company to use the proper materials and set up containment areas where needed. Testing should be done a second time after the remediation job is complete to ensure that the harmful materials were removed. It is very important to get the tests from a 3rd party company. A mold remediation company who offers testing, or a testing company offering remediation, should be considered a conflict of interest Contact us for your Free Initial Consultation.

Molds produce allergens (substances that can cause allergic reactions), irritants, and in some cases, potentially toxic substances (mycotoxins). Inhaling or touching mold or mold spores may cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. Allergic responses include hay fever-type symptoms, such as sneezing, runny nose, red eyes, and skin rash (dermatitis).
