Why Professional Mold Testing Is Recommended
Because every home has a certain level of mold present all the time, mold tests can be unreliable. Testing for mold is an extremely scientific process that requires controlled conditions. It is difficult to achieve these scientific standards in a home or business, so spores from outdoors and indoors mingle and in-home mold tests report every mold spore found in the immediate area. Many times, test results include mold varieties found outside the home in the natural environment that are not actually growing inside your home.
So, you would only want to consider testing for mold in your home or business if a trusted remediation or air quality specialist suggests the services would be beneficial for your specific situation. Mold thrives in warm areas where the temperatures rise above 80 degrees, which can easily happen in the Los Angeles area. Mold thrives in damp areas where water has been introduced and not adequately dried. Because of the limits of these tests, specialists agree that mold testing is not always a useful solution. In these situations, it is recommended that home and business owners consider hiring a professional to inspect mold colonies and suggest remediation solutions.
Types of Mold that Can Grow in Your Home or Business
Many types of mold can grow in your home or business, and mold clusters can form in many colors. Often, the color of the mold growth can help specialists determine the variety of the mold. The colors can range from white to orange or from green to black. Technicians also examine the color and texture of the mold to determine what it has been eating. Mold loves to eat, and its favorite things to eat are organic materials. Organic materials include items made from cotton, wood, leather, paper, or leather. So, considering these materials are found throughout most homes and businesses, it’s understandable how molds can destroy a structure relatively quickly once they’ve been allowed to grow freely.

Why Mold Is Dangerous to You, Your Home, and Business
Mold is a fungus that thrives in humid and damp conditions. Mold spores are found throughout nature, even in non-damp surroundings. Mold spores help materials in nature decay and return into the earth, which is why these spores are found everywhere. Mold isn’t bad when it’s not harming your home or threatening the safety of the air you breathe. While you may not have seen a moldy area, you have likely smelled one. Mold has a very distinctive smell that is often described as musty and aged.
Health Dangers of Breathing in Mold:
- Asthma.
- Fatigue
- Sore Throat
- Watery Eyes
- Skin Infections
- Rashes
- Chronic Sinus Problems
The distinctive smell associated with mold is actually your respiratory system encountering various mold spores in the air. In the open air, mold spores aren’t as harmful to you. However, when mold spores overwhelm interior spaces, the air quality deteriorates, and your home or office space rapidly becomes a toxic environment that can make you very ill. If you smell mold growing in your home, call us at any time day or night! Long-term mold inhalation can be seriously dangerous to you and your home or business.
Don't take a chance with your respiratory health! You should have your home tested and inspected by one of our specialists immediately if you think you have mold. Call 833-379-3696 now to request an appointment for mold testing in Los Angeles.
