Most people are aware that mold in your home can create detrimental risks to your home and health. Mold can develop in various areas of your home, and in some instances can be unnoticeable to the naked eye. Mold can spread rapidly through your home, so it is important to combat it right away before it worsens. With professional mold inspection and testing, you can prevent many health issues that occur from long-term mold exposure.
What Makes Mold dangerous?
Mold can cause traditional allergy symptoms like a stuffy nose, itchy eyes, sore throat, and more. These symptoms can be significantly worse for individuals with asthma, those who are immunocompromised, and other high-risk conditions. Severe cases of mold can even be life-threatening, especially to young children and infants. Due to the rapid growth of mold, it can quickly become a serious health concern for all who live within the home.
How to Detect Mold Within a Home
Oftentimes, homeowners will notice a musty/earthy smell accompanied by frequent allergy-like symptoms. Mold thrives in environments that are dark, moist, and have poor ventilation. Mold can be difficult to detect in the early stages, which is why it is incredibly important to test for mold and put a stop to it before it starts compromising the structure of your home. Mold can eat away at sheetrock, carpet, and other surfaces.
Professional mold inspection and testing with FM Services is quick and efficient, so you can get back to living with peace of mind knowing that your home and loved ones are once again protected. Our team utilizes a variety of field meters and an infrared camera to check for moisture damage and pinpoint areas that are most prone to mold growth. This includes roof leaks, wet basements, hidden moisture behind walls, etc. In a majority of cases, we can perform moisture assessments with minimum damage so we don’t have to tear apart your home to find the problem.
Preventing Mold in Dryer Vents & Air Ducts
Mold can accumulate in dryer vents and air ducts if not properly cleaned. With the combination of moisture and high humidity, dander and dust can create a paste-like substance that serves as a breeding ground for mold. In addition to this clogging air flow in your vents, the mold that accumulates in these areas can grow at an alarming rate due to the nature of the environment. This only furthers the spread of mold throughout your home as it blows through your ducts, increasing the symptoms you experience.
We use high-powered specialty tools and equipment that allow us to not only blow out and vacuum up the various dirt and debris which are present in most peoples’ vents but also allow us to brush the entire length of the vent for the most thorough air duct cleaning service possible.
