Mold Testing

Mold testing will be conducted to find the following types of mold in your home or office:

  • Fusarium: This mold grows in colder, wetter areas, but can typically be found in carpets or similar fabrics.
  • Penicillium: Penicillium can be found in insulation, furniture, water-damaged furnishings, carpets and more. It is known to spread quickly and have serious allergic reactions.
  • Black mold: Perhaps one of the most dangerous mold spores. Black mold grows quickly and produces a compound, that when inhaled, causes all kinds of health issues.

Mold testing allows us to know what kind of mold is in your home or office. We can then effectively remove and prevent further growths. We can then go through to complete our cleaning and restoration process, which will put your property back on track to function as a home or office. Any indication of mold growth needs to be dealt with immediately. Failure to do so can result in irreversible damage and serious health risks.

What are the health risks of undetected mold?

Mold contamination is one of the more tricky problems to visually detect as it can easily develop and fester in the most inaccessible places within the property. Preventing mold, or later finding and eliminating mold is critical for your home or business property as the fungus can spread fast and damage walls and adjacent structures. But the real risks for the appearance of mold is health related and as the fungus develops, it will release a consistent stream of airborne spores and bacteria into the air within the property. Breathing in moldy air will have short term health effects such as:

• Constant lethargy and sleepiness

• Breathing problems and shortness of breath

• Skin and eye irritation

Bad quality and moldy air can also create severe long term health problems due to headaches and poor sleep patterns. Mold testing in Toronto is an essential first step when any changes in quality of life occur.
