Mold gives off spores, and these can get blown around in the HVAC system, resulting in all areas of the building having mold and causing health issues to everyone that is in the building. And typically, the longer someone is in the presence of mold in the building, the more their symptoms can worsen. Having a mold test in the building will help to determine what kind of mold is present, and in what quantities, and this will help to provide a basis for making a plan for mold remediation.

Sick Building Syndrome

This is a term that is used to describe a building, residential or commercial, where people are reporting health symptoms such as headaches, fatigue, eye/nose/throat irritation when they are in the building, and those symptoms vanishing not long after they leave the building. Mold can be a contributing factor to sick building syndrome which is why it is important to conduct mold testing to find out if mold is present, and then a plan can be devised for what to do about it.

Mold can be found in many places in a building, but perhaps one of the worst locations is when it is located in the HVAC system or ductwork. Every time that your system is activated, mold spores are blown around the building, affecting everyone in the building. But even having mold close to an air intake or blower can cause similar effects.

Knowing Your Mold Test Results

When having mold testing done, we will be testing various surfaces as well as the air in the building. The mold test results will provide details such as the kind or kinds of mold that are present on surfaces and in the air. They can also provide a comparison for the mold inside the building as well as outside the building. Knowing the amounts of mold as well as what kinds of mold are present provides important insight for forming a plan for mold removal.
