More Information On Mold!

How is mold detected? 

Mold can often be detected by its musty odor. When mold is suspected, a visual inspection should take place, including inconspicuous areas, like inside the HVAC system. Wherever damp conditions exist, mold is a possibility. If mold cannot be seen, but the musty odor is present, it’s possible that the mold contamination could be hidden. Technology such as moisture detectors and borescopes may be used by professionals to help detect the mold location.

Mold testing by an agency certified to do so may be employed in extensive cases.

What are mold spores?

Mold spores are microscopic, multicellular organisms. They are a fungus that can be found indoors or outdoors. Mold spores can float in the air but will not grow into colonies of spores without moisture present.
