Mold Testing for Hidden Mold

Spread the love

Mold is a very sneaky organism. If given the opportunity, it will stay hidden out from the site. But the health effects won’t! Does your family have itchy eyes, watery noses, scratchy throats, and persistent colds that just won’t go away? You might have “Hidden Mold” and may be in need of mold testing.

 

Months of health issues lead this family to hire a mold investigator who suspected water intrusion through cable penetrations.

Worried About Hidden Mold?

Hidden Mold can be a real problem if not addressed. As the mold grows, it consumes the organic material around its weakening structures. As it grows, it casts off spores that migrate throughout the home, often contributing to ill health effects.

 

Water dripping in through an exterior wall went undetected for years until hidden mold growth was thought to be the cause of health effects.

Think You Have Hidden Mold?

I’m sure you checked all the obvious sources. But let’s face it, this is where a pro comes in handy. A mold testing investigator is an expert at assessing your home to identify not only mold but the possible sources of water intrusion that trigger mold growth. Some water sources are nothing more than drip.

What Should I Do?

First, don’t panic; this is more common than you think. Once the hidden mold is identified, it can be remediated. But be prepared to spend a few $’s for mold testing. It may take several tests and a few site visits to track down that sneaky hidden mold.
