Molds are part of the natural environment
Why Test for Mold at all?
Mold is being spread throughout the world by a person's
traveling and living patterns. We have created millions
of square feet of pristine living conditions for molds
and we pick up mold spores and bring them home with us.
All homes will harbor molds and some houses are
friendlier to molds than others.
All houses need to be monitored for mold growth as part
of the maintenance procedures for the house. When any
mold or mildew is present more will come. Only through
inspection and testing can it be determined if molds are
present and if the subject property is showing signs of
mold and mildew friendliness.
Inspecting for Mold
More than 5% of all construction lumber manufactured
each year in the United States is used to replace wood
that has decayed in service. Allergies and sickness due
to indoor air quality, damage to wood-frame buildings by
mildew, mold, staining fungi, and decay fungi is
entirely preventable. The first step in prevention is
inspection and testing.
Mold is Here for Good
Mold lives and prospers in the same environment as we
do. All houses need regular inspections for mold along
with other periodic preventative maintenance
inspections. Before fungi can colonize, four
requirements must be met: air, livable temperature,
moisture, and food. Humidity and water leaks are the
cause of most mold infestations. Leaks being the easiest
to spot are the first indications that mold may be
present, however unusual activities may upset the
humidity averages in the house and mechanical spaces and
allow mold to establish itself.
