Health effects & mold testing
Most experts agree that the health effects of mold and mycotoxin exposure vary widely between individuals, even between those living in close quarters within the same residence. Sensitivities may develop over time from repeated exposures to mold and mycotoxin.
Asthma or flu-like symptoms
General respiratory complaints
Stuffy or runny nose
Conjunctivitis and other eye irritations
Dry, hacking cough
Headaches
“Brain fog”
Skin rashes and irritations
If you or someone living in your home is having symptoms you think may be related to mold or mycotoxin exposure, an inspection and testing could help determine if there is a problem.
Our team will begin by discussing your concerns and the history of the structure. A thorough visual inspection by our trained staff is performed to detect signs of mold growth and adverse moisture conditions. Once the inspection is complete, a sampling strategy will be discussed. The samples are obtained using scientifically calibrated equipment and filters and then delivered accredited laboratory, Eurofins.
