Keeping Your Home Mold-Free

Mold testing kits should be used with safety gear and protective equipment. You should use a pair of rubber gloves, safety goggles, a dust mask and avoid hard to reach creases inside air ducts. There are many variations of mold floating around, with the most lethal one being black mold. During the inspection process, a professional mold remediation technician, will collect a tiny sample off the wall or floor. This tiny mold sample is then sent back to the laboratory for further testing and analysis.

Mold testing is performed to identify the source of the mold growth. A highly trained mold removal specialist can check warped surfaces, paint that is peeling off and water stains. They’re also able to check certain corners of the house that are most susceptible for mold growth. Mold can hide behind a washing machine, grow in ceilings, grow underneath floor tiles and even inside air conditioning ducts. It’s virtually impossible to reach certain places without full knowledge on how to remove the mold in place. Once the technician discovers the breeding ground for the mold, they are then able to conclude which mold test is most appropriate to treat the situation.

There are several mold tests, which are known as bulk testing, surface testing and air testing. Bulk testing involves the process of collecting materials that have been affected by mold from the home. The materials are sent to a lab to be examined under a microscope. Bulk testing will also notify you on the type of mold problem you have in your home. Surface testing collects samples from household surfaces to determine the amount of mold spores left in the house. Air testing takes samples from the air, which is impossible to notice with the naked eye. All three testing methods are best determined by the professional mold remediation expert. It’s also a good idea to let the expert mold removal specialist perform an air quality test. You could have a huge amount of dust and dander clogging up your air ducts, which can not only pave the way for mold, but also cause severe health problems.
