Mold Inspection
Mold inspection and testing include assessment of the indoor air quality and identification of the causes as well as the levels of fungal growth in the building. It is only through identification and fixing of the causes of fungal growth in the building that mold growth can be controlled. Fungi produce spores that are released into the air. Fungal spores are found everywhere in the outside air. The problem starts when the fungal spores begin to grow inside our home or workplace. Often all that is needed is a moisture source. Fungal exposure can cause minor allergic reactions to severe health issues.
