MOULD TESTING
What is Mould Testing?
Mould refers to various types of fungi that thrive indoors under the right conditions, such as high humidity, moisture, and organic materials. It can develop on building surfaces, furnishings, carpets, or hidden areas behind walls. Mould not only damages property but also poses significant risks to indoor air quality and occupant health.
Health Risks of Mould Exposure
Mould releases spores and mycotoxins into the air, which can lead to:
Allergic reactions (sneezing, itchy eyes, skin irritation)
Respiratory issues such as coughing, wheezing, and asthma flare-ups
Infections or worsened health effects in individuals with weakened immune systems
Long-term health concerns with prolonged or repeated exposure
How to Identify Mould
Visible growth on walls, ceilings, or furnishings
Musty or earthy odors (often in basements, bathrooms, or poorly ventilated areas)
Hidden contamination behind walls or in damp areas that may not be immediately visible
