Worried about mold<\/strong>?\u00a0 If you had any water sort of water leak or water damage then there is a good chance that you have mold. Mold can grow in as little as 24-48 hours.\u00a0 Even when a company has dried out the water damage straight away, there is often mold growth that goes unnoticed. Mold Testing to check for mold spores in the air is often necessary to determine if you have mold. Covering Fort Lauderdale and surrounding areas.<\/p>

What is Mold?<\/b><\/strong><\/p>

Mold is a fungus that destroys building materials in our homes when they get wet. Mold reproduces and spreads by microscopic mold spores in the air.\u00a0 To grow, all it needs is moisture and organic material. Mold spores travel through the air, and we breathe them in. If the levels are elevated, it can affect our health, especially those with existing respiratory problems or compromised immune systems.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Below is a guide to help you know when you need to get your home inspected for mold.<\/p>

When we do a home inspection, we also do a visual inspection for any signs of mold. Unfortunately, mold is not always visible.\u00a0 When buying a home, mold may not be obvious, or the Seller may even have hidden the problem.\u00a0 This is when taking air samples and sending them to the lab can be valuable. We spend up to 90% of our time indoors but are not always aware of the health hazards created by mold.<\/p>

Infants, immuno-compromised individuals, and the elderly may be more susceptible to the effects of mold<\/p>

Those who have increased sensitivity to mold or have asthma or allergies should especially consider doing an air quality test for mold.<\/p>

Indications that there may be a mold problem are generally a moldy smell. However, we have often found mold where there was no noticeable smell.\u00a0 Never ignore mold odors, even if you can\u2019t see any mold.\u00a0 A mold inspection and mold test can tell you whether there is an elevated mold level and where it is located in your house. Although most of the time, you won\u2019t see the existing mold, your body\u2019s symptoms may reveal you have a problem. Many cases have happened where a patient has a health issue that they do not know the cause of but seems to be related to mold symptoms (headaches, coughing, sneezing, asthma, etc.). This will often be associated with being in a certain room. A mold inspection and test may help to confirm suspicions that a mold problem exists, and the problem can be quickly fixed to ensure you don\u2019t experience further health problems.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
