SERVICE OVERVIEW

Mold is a common problem in many homes and buildings. It can be found in damp areas, such as bathrooms, kitchens, basements, and any area in Calgary with high humidity. Mold is a type of fungus that grows in damp areas and can spread rapidly. It can be black, green, or even white in color.

Mold can have severe health implications to humans and animals, including allergic reactions, asthma, respiratory infections, and more. Inhaling mold spores can cause an allergic reaction in individuals who are sensitive to it. This can include coughing, sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes and throat, and difficulty breathing. In some cases, mold exposure can lead to more serious health problems such as inflammation of the lungs, which can cause longterm lung damage.

Mold can also cause structural damage to buildings in Calgary. If left unchecked, it can weaken walls and other surfaces, leading to structural collapse and other safety hazards.

It is important to take steps to prevent mold from growing in your home or business. This includes controlling humidity levels, cleaning and drying areas that are affected by water, and making sure that all areas are wellventilated. It is also important to contact a professional if you think you have.

OUR TESTING PROCESS

Mold testing is a process used to identify and measure the concentrations of molds in the air and on surfaces. The purpose of mold testing is to determine the presence of mold, the type of mold and the severity of the infestation. Mold testing is an important part of the process to identify and treat a mold problem in the home or workplace.

The process of mold testing begins with a visual inspection of the property to identify any signs of mold growth. The inspector will then take a sample of the material that is suspected to have mold. The sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis.

In the laboratory, the sample is inspected under a microscope to identify the type of mold and its concentration. Air samples may also be taken to measure the number of mold spores in the air. Once the sample is analyzed, the results are compared to established standards to determine if the mold infestation is at an acceptable level.

If the mold is found to be at an unacceptable level, a remediation plan should be developed and implemented to reduce the presence of mold in the environment. The remediation plan may include the removal of affected materials, the use of antimold products, or the use of a dehumidifier.
