Why Air Quality Testing is an Important Part of the Mold Remediation Process

Indoor air quality tests are extremely important on their own, but they are even more important when they are part of a mold remediation process. Typically, air tests are performed during the initial mold inspection to detect if mold is present in the air or to evaluate the extent of visible mold that is present inside a home or business. Since mold spores are generally invisible to the naked eye and can be odorless air tests are an effective way to detect their presence. Air tests will also identify the type and amount of each mold that is exists in your space.

Dormant Mold: Is It Really Harmless?

A common misconception that you may have heard is that dead mold is harmless; this is simply not true. The truth is that dried out mold isn’t actually dead, instead it is lying dormant. Mold requires moisture, warmth, food and oxygen to grow and thrive. When these items are removed from the environment the mold will dry out and go into a state that similar to hibernation. While it is true that the dried mold is no longer growing or spreading, if it is exposed to any of the components that are necessary for its survival, it can quickly reactivate and start spreading again.

It breaks down organic materials and is a major part of the decomposition process. Mold spores found in the air is not hazardous as long as it stays within safe and normal ranges. If mold is found growing in your home, however, it is likely because it has found a moisture source and the spore count is no longer safe for you and your family.
