What is a mold assessment?
A mold assessment is a comprehensive evaluation of your property to identify the presence of mold, the extent of contamination, and the underlying causes. This process is essential for maintaining a healthy indoor environment and protecting your property from damage. Mold assessments typically involve visual inspections, air and surface sampling, and moisture measurements to determine the type and severity of mold growth.
Why is mold assessment important?
Mold can have adverse effects on your health, especially for those with allergies or respiratory conditions. By identifying and addressing mold issues, a mold assessment helps safeguard the well-being of building occupants. Furthermore, mold can cause structural damage to your property if left untreated. Early detection through a mold assessment can save you time and money on costly repairs.
