Mold & Air Quality Testing and Mold Inspections
Mold can cause a host of undesirable problems including potential health issues for occupants and in more advanced cases it can lead to building damage. Mold grows in environments with oxygen, excess moisture, and a food source of organic materials such as wood and many common building materials. Whether you are a homeowner with concerns about mold, or a home buyer with mold concerns at your prospective property, our mold testing, and inspection services conducted by our Certified Mold Professionals are a great way to become informed and educated about mold levels in your home.
IS MOLD A PROBLEM IN COLORADO?
Although the dry climate in Colorado is not as conducive to mold growth as in more humid climates, homes and building in Colorado are certainly not immune to mold issues. Sources of moisture such as plumbing leaks and exterior drainage issues are common potential factors leading to mold problems in Colorado homes and buildings.
It is worth noting that mold is everywhere and that complete elimination of all mold spores is not possible. However, knowing what types of molds are a threat to your health and what levels of mold are acceptable will give you the information you need to know to determine if your home needs mold mitigation.
