Could your home or office be making you sick? Each person’s body responds to mold toxicity in completely different ways. However, it is important to note that the severity of the health risks associated with mold exposure can vary depending on a range of factors. Specifically, these factors include the specific type of mold present, the true duration of your exposure, and your individual immune system.
Identifying Local Mold Exposure & Health Symptoms
Consequently, since these toxic symptoms differ from person to person, people may not quickly associate them with indoor air quality issues. For this reason, many individuals suffering from mold illness struggle to get a proper diagnosis and an accurate environmental investigation.
Specifically, regular exposure to elevated mold spores can trigger a wide range of health problems. For example, these critical health risks include:
-
Allergic Reactions: Chronic sneezing, runny nose, sinus congestion, itchy eyes, and sudden skin rashes.
-
Respiratory Issues: Persistent coughing, wheezing, bronchitis, and the severe worsening of asthma symptoms.
-
Systemic Infections: Serious respiratory or fungal infections, particularly in individuals with weakened immune systems.
-
Toxic Reactions: Certain types of mold produce dangerous mycotoxins. Consequently, these toxins can cause harmful chemical reactions resulting in headaches, dizziness, or cognitive issues.
Pre-Purchase Mold and Moisture Inspections
Are you currently considering purchasing your dream home? Homeworks Environmental routinely performs highly detailed Pre-Purchase Mold and Moisture Inspections across the region. Therefore, before you sign a closing contract, we help you answer these critical structural questions:
-
Did a prior leak leave visible signs of water damage within the home?
-
Did a previous storm cause structural damage to the roof or siding?
-
Did the previous owner properly clean and maintain the underlying HVAC system?
-
Does a strong, persistent musty smell exist within the living spaces?
-
Does pooling water create active moisture issues within the crawlspace?
Why to Avoid Remediation Contractor Mold Testing
Ultimately, it is critical to know that many full-service water damage and restoration companies actively generate consumer complaints by offering “free” mold inspections or cheap mold testing services. Consequently, a remediation contractor should never perform pre-testing or post-testing on any property where they maintain a direct financial interest in offering cleanup services.
An industry insider recently stated that their baseline goal before even walking through a client’s door is to find thousands of dollars in damages. In contrast, our team believes you deserve complete peace of mind. Therefore, an objective, professional inspector should evaluate your home without trying to sell you expensive repairs. As a result, we offer honest, accurate inspections that carefully outline whatever actions may be required to correct any problems safely.
A Remediation Contractor should not be performing pre or post testing on any property in which they have a financial interest in offering remediation services. The expense of sending out an inspector or in the case of a Restoration Company salesperson is real. Unethical companies deceptively use a “Free Inspection” or “Free Testing” as a way to get into your home in order to give you a high pressure sales pitch, with salespersons being overly aggressive in recommending remediation services to exaggerate the scope of work needed, high profits are expected. Consumers have found that these “free inspections” often come with a hefty price tag when the salesman presents a frightening list of dangerous conditions that are claimed to be emergency, requiring immediate and expensive repairs.
