Testing for Mold Contamination
 

  It would be great if finding mold was as easy as just stumbling upon the spores as you clean your house. In that ideal world, mold infestations would be cleaned up within days and repairs to leaky pipes and other sources of moisture would be done immediately. Unfortunately, in the real world, mold is generally found in dark, deep, wet corners of your home or building that are not often explored. Often it grows in places that you can't even see such as behind wall paper and drywall or paneling.

  The best way to determine whether or not your home or office has mold is to contact Mold Pros of Ohio about mold detection and mold testing. Mold detection is a physical examination during which the contractor examines the favorite nesting spots of mold. Mold testing is an easy way to see if your home or office has a dangerous level of airborne spores.

Mold Spore Testing

  Mold Pros of Ohio will begin the examination and mold testing of your home or office with a visual inspection. We  go through each room and every floor, including your basements, crawl spaces and attics. We look around the walls and floors near pipes, at your ceiling, at bubbling areas of wallpaper, near sinks and bathtubs and more. Wherever we find mold, we will scrape the area for physical mold testing. In order to determine what type of mold you have, and what the best method for removal is, the mold sample will be analyzed by an independent 3rd party testing lab.

  Physical mold testing can save a lot of time and money. Black mold found on the surface of your walls could be a simple case of a small, benign mold accumulation; or, it could indicate that there are colonies of toxic mold spores living behind your walls. Additionally, a green mold colony may not contain the toxic elements that create a serious health hazard, or it may. Mold testing helps you find out for sure.   After the physical examination is complete, Mold Pros of Ohio will conduct airborne mold testing, which includes taking an air sampling outside the structure and in multiple interior locations.  Almost every structure will have some airborne mold spores detected by Air Quality testing.  Mold testing allows Mold Pros of Ohio to determine if the level of spores found in your home or office  is dangerous or indicative of a larger problem. Mold Pros of Ohio, through this mold testing process, will help you determine whether or not the airborne spores found in your home or office pose a danger.   Believe it or not, there actually is an acceptable level of mold that can be present in your home or office. Since mold often grows rampant outside, contractors conducting mold testing understand that some of the airborne spores found in your home or office may be from an outdoor source. They also may find that the number of spores in your home or office, whether from an outdoor or indoor source, is not dangerous and does not require mold removal services. Ultimately, mold testing gives you the piece of mind you need and helps to prevent a possible mold problem from becoming a health and interior air quality hazard.
