Testing for Black Mold
Black mold testing starts with a visible inspection. Are there mold spots on the walls or floors? Even if you can't see any mold, spores may still be present in cracks and hidden spaces.
Air quality testing of your home may be necessary because the mold spores may be airborne. There are inexpensive testing kits for black mold that you can purchase yourself. A simple test will tell you within a few days if the area is infested. If it is, consider having the water-damaged and moldy material removed by mold abatement specialists.
The greatest danger of black mold is in the possibility of it becoming agitated. Disturbing the mold can cause spores to spread and further contaminate your home.
Exposure to black mold can cause symptoms similar to a cold or flu. It can affect the immune system and cause health problems.
Common symptoms from mold exposure include:
* Allergies and allergic reactions
* Asthma Flare-ups
* Bronchitis
* Headaches
* Sinus Congestion
* Immune system disorders
Just because the mold is not visible doesn’t mean it’s not harmful. If you suspect that you have a mold problem, you should have inspection and testing performed by a trained and certified mold inspector.
