Strictly speaking, there's no such thing as “too late” to seek professional mold removal services that restore your home to a healthy, non-toxic state. However, it's certainly true that detecting mold sooner rather than later is preferable. While only industry-standard testing by a qualified specialist can definitely confirm mold contamination, certain general guidelines can be used to identify a suspected home mold problem as early as possible.
- Has water damage affected the house? Water damage from indoor or outdoor sources makes mold contamination a likelihood, not a mere possibility. If qualified mold remediation services were not accessed when water damage occurred, assume that mold growth exists and seek professional advice now.
- Do you notice telltale odors? Active mold growth has a musty odor that often seems more pungent in warm, humid conditions. It may be particularly evident in the crawl space, basement or attic, where moisture occurs and mold growth thrives.
- Are occupants reporting allergic reactions or other chronic symptoms? First, these should be discussed with a qualified physician. If no other known causes are identified, environmental issues such as the presence of airborne mold spores inside a house may be considered.
- Have you seen mold-like growth? Not everything that looks like mold is mold. Fungal growth of various descriptions may turn out to be one of the toxic mold varieties. Confirmation by a qualified mold specialist is required to verify this, however.
Definitive Detection
Mold remediation professionals utilize air sampling technology to capture spores and microscopic analysis to confirm presence of mold. The concentration of spores in the air provides a basis to estimate the extent of contamination inside the house as well as likely locations of growing mold. After air sampling, technicians will conduct an in-depth mold inspection of the house and physically any sample active growth discovered. Samples will then be lab-tested to confirm the specific type of mold and to formulate an effective treatment plan.
