Excessive water leakage and seeping pipes are often caused by mold growing in damp areas. In addition to damage to buildings, mold can also pose serious health problems. The most common mold exposure symptoms include respiratory problems like chronic coughs and sneezing. Black mold also causes irritation to eyes, rashes, irritation in the mucus membrane of nose and throat, severe headaches and chronic fatigue.

The mold testing and removal process is briefly described below:

The initial testing and investigation seeks to determine the existence of indoor mold growth, mold type and the mold spore concentration in air. The collected samples are then sent to specialized laboratories. The samples are checked for mold spore samples in breathing space of a room, spores in wall cavities and spores on various surfaces. The mold investigation is designed for rental properties, homes, schools and offices. Using modern instruments like digital hydrometers and Zefon BioPumps and Air-O-Cells, the experts detect sources of spore and moisture intrusion.

The samples are then sent to labs for testing. If the mold detection or testing shows a mold problem, then the firm writes a report on remediation of mold. The report consists of findings, results and digital photographs that help you understand the problem easily. Once the remediation has been done, the firm carries out post inspection to ensure the procedure has been completed without any discrepancies.
