What Is Mold Testing and Remediation?

Mold testing simply involves taking either an air sample or one from a surface where mold is visible. This is done to clearly identify the type of mold present so appropriate steps can be taken to deal with it. Remediation is one aspect of our overall mold cleaning services. It’s when efforts are made to prevent mold from spreading after the affected area has been thoroughly cleaned. This may involve air duct cleaning to prevent airborne transfer.

What Are Some of the Health Issues Related to Mold?

Some airborne mold spores are relatively harmless, but this isn’t always the case. Even surface-based mold has the potential to be hazardous to the health of anyone in your household. Health issues often associated with mold include:

  • An increase in allergy-related symptoms – e.g., sneezing, runny nose, watery eyes, etc.
  • Throat irritations
  • Congestion or similar respiratory issues
  • An increased risk of developing asthma, especially in children
  • Immune system changes with long-term exposure

What Are Common Types of Mold?

Mold commonly found in homes generally falls into three categories: allergenic, pathogenic, and toxic. The more commonly occurring types of mold are:

  • Aspergillus: Often found in home cooling systems, this is an extremely common type of mold that’s further broken down into nearly 200 variations.
  • Stachybotrys: Also known as black mold, this type of mold is often found in damp basements or places where there’s a leak. It’s also a common issue with water damage.
  • Alternaria: Typically seen in damp bathrooms, this type of mold may also be found around windows where there’s moisture or condensation.
  • Mucor: Fast-growing, this is a type of mold often found on water-damaged materials like carpeting or upholstered surfaces.

The Mold and Mildew Removal Process

An initial inspection is what’s typically done first with mold and mildew issues. Testing may be advisable as well if there’s a need to clearly identify the type of mold. We determine the source of the mold as well since this also needs to be addressed to prevent future mold problems. Additional steps typically part of mold remediation in Asheville, NC, include:
