Mold is a problem for homes because it can create unhealthy living environments. If you notice mold growth, find out if your home has an issue with moisture before the situation gets worse and irreversible damage happens. Mold inspection is the process of examining a property to determine whether there are any mold issues present. Mold testing can be conducted at this point or as part of an annual maintenance plan, including other environmental tests such as radon and lead screening.
What does it mean when someone says something smells "moldy"? When we say that something has a musty smell or seems vaguely like mold, what's going on? The answer lies with microscopic fungi called molds-these tiny organisms secrete enzymes that break down organic matter into sugars. Hence, they have food for themselves naturally occurring everywhere around us.
Have you ever heard that mold can be dangerous to your health? It's true--mold is a living organism, and some molds produce allergenic or toxic spores. Mold inspection and testing mean looking for signs of water, humidity, air leaks, possible damage from flooding events (like sewage), etc., then using specific lab tests to identify the type of fungus present. Suppose there has been a recognized flood event in your home or business within the past six months. In that case, professionals who handle these situations may need further evaluation on behalf of insurance companies.
When do you need a mold inspector?
Molds can be found in many places. If you've noticed a strange smell or color coming from your air ducts, it could mean that there is water damage and mold growth somewhere within the walls of your home. Molds are often overlooked because they thrive on moisture, so even if you live in an arid climate like Arizona with low humidity levels all year long, molds still can grow indoors given enough time and opportunity for development outside due to any leaks or openings into other parts of the house where dampness has seeped through overtime since being sealed off by old construction techniques or shoddy maintenance practices.
