Certified Mildew and Mold Inspection / Mold TestingIn most cases, when a free mold visual inspection is performed, there is a need to perform surface and air testing in a certified lab,which will identify types of mold and categorize their toxicity level.
It is very important to test for mold even if you are just a little suspicious: - Most people spend 65 to 95% of their time indoors.
- 55% of all illnesses are caused by or aggravated by polluted indoor .
- The levels of some hazardous pollutants in indoor environment have been found to be up to 70 times greater than in outdoor environment.
- More than 55 million Americans suffer from mold & mildew allergies.
Mold Testing is performed in 2 ways: - Air Quality Testing.
- Surface Swab Samples.
When it is necessary to perform mold testing (health issues arise, legal purposes), then it would be advisable to take at least one surface swab sample and two air samples test. The main reason is, in some situations, you may have mold growing on a surface, but it has not reached a point where it is releasing enough mold spores into the air to cause health problems. In this case, air sampling test alone would provide results that do not accurately portray the extent of Mold Growth.
Another scenario may be where, in your random surface swab sampling test, you did not sample a surface where mold was growing (or at least not at a significant level), but mold colonies throughout other parts of the home had reached a point where they were releasing substantial amounts of mold spores into the air. In this case, your surface sampling would not give you an accurate picture of the problem.
