Health Effects & Mold Testing

Most experts agree that the health effects of mold exposure vary widely between individuals, even those living in close quarters within the same residence. Those with compromised immune systems, such as young children, older adults and people taking prescription drugs to suppress cancer or HIV are typically most affected. Sensitivities may develop over time from repeated exposures to mold.

Possible symptoms of mold exposure:

  • Asthma or flu-like symptoms
  • General respiratory complaints
  • Stuffy or runny nose
  • Conjunctivitis (pink-eye) and other eye irritations
  • Dry, hacking cough
  • Headaches
  • “Brain fog”
  • Skin rashes and irritations

Is mold testing part of the solution?

If you or someone living in your home is having symptoms you think may be related to mold exposure, a mold inspection and testing could help determine if there is a problem.

Our team will begin by discussing your concerns and the history of the structure regarding water discharges, leaks, flooding, etc. A thorough visual inspection by our trained staff is performed to detect signs of mold growth and adverse moisture conditions. Once the inspection is complete, a sampling strategy will be discussed. The samples are obtained using scientifically calibrated equipment and filters and then shipped overnight via FedEx to the accredited laboratory, EmLab P&K.

For additional fees, Clearance Testing or Post Remediation Verification should be done after the mold remediation is complete but prior to installation of any new materials. This service will confirm and document a successful cleanup.
