Living in a healthy home free from toxic mold is something you can control. However, the warning signs of elevated mold spores and associated mycotoxins are not that obvious. We encourage all homeowners to conduct regular mold testing to ensure their home is free from toxic mold.
5 Reasons Why You Should Test Your Home for Toxic Mold Today
1.Identify hidden black mold like Stachybotrys. Water damage markers like the infamous Stachybotrys black mold are very stick and hidden behind gypsum-based sheetrock walls. We recommend air sampling in bathrooms, basement and areas subjected to water damage or ice damming.
2.Identify common invisible spores like Aspergillus and Penicillium. These common molds can quickly grow and bloom exponential invading carpeting, furniture, air ducts and ultimately your lungs! Basement areas and closets are notorious for Aspergillus and Penicllium type molds that thrive on sustained humidity and restricted airflow often yielding a musty odor.
3.Prevent Illness. Getting sick is expensive. Furthermore, think about the loss of productivity and overall reduction in quality of life. You can prevent illness through proper identification of toxins that can cause illness like mold.
