TOP 5 REASONS FOR MOLD TESTING
Protection Against Illness
There are many types of health situations in Boise and the surrounding areas that might lead to mold testing. There may be someone in the home experiencing discomfort primarily, or only, when in the home. An infant or family member who has a compromised immune system may be coming to live in the house, and the owner wants to check for mold in the home.
Water Damage
Owners in Boise and surrounding areas who know that they have had water damage in their home may call for testing. If water has not been dried in 24 to 48 hours, mold growth may have occurred. Mold is capable of growing on any surface and can be harmful to both the structure and the contents of a home.
Odors
Unpleasant smells can be an indication of mold. As mold eats and digests its food, it can give off noxious by-products. Some molds give off microbial volatile organic compounds (MVOCs). The EPA suggests that a homeowner should investigate a musty or moldy smell in their house.
Visible Growth
Often some type of growth is spotted by a homeowner and is feared to be mold. Mold can be any range of colors, forms, or textures. Dust on a wall, graphite particles nestled beside hinges on doors, and efflorescence are a few examples of things that might appear to be mold but are not. Is it mold or not? It is often difficult to make the right call without testing in Boise and surrounding areas.
Real Estate Transactions
A common reason for mold testing is that a home is being sold. A buyer may require that mold testing be done whether they see mold growth or not. A seller may choose to provide a potential buyer with peace of mind or to speed up the process. Or a formal inspection of the home reveals microbial growth, prompting the owner to test the home.
