If you’re worried about a potential mold problem, it’s never too early to act! With our team at Karl Environmental, we can help not only resolve the issue, but we’ll identify the source and help you prevent it from happening again. One big part of this process includes mold sampling and investigation, which we want to discuss in more detail.
The mold investigation will involve an experienced mold inspector who can find signs of mold growth. Once the problem is found, mold sampling will allow for inspectors to target the quantity and type of mold that you may be dealing with. This is by utilizing special filters and indoor air pumps which collect mold spores. After collecting the mold spores, the inspector sends them to an accredited laboratory for analysis!
Common Mold Locations
Some of the most common locations for mold could be just out of sight. This includes under sinks or carpets, in closets or rooms with high moisture levels, and behind walls. If you know of a location in your home with low ventilation and high humidity, it may be a good idea to take a look at those locations on occasion. Even small amounts of mold can grow into major problems if gone unnoticed. Small amounts can be solved with regular maintenance and cleaning, but you’ll need professional support for bigger issues.
Health Issues
If mold problems aren’t fixed, extended respiratory or skin contact can induce unwanted health effects. These symptoms include, but not limited to, coughing, irritated lungs, dry skin, and skin discoloration. Check out our website to learn about more symptoms and information related to mold exposure. If you think you have symptoms, contact medical professionals as soon as possible.
