Mold can be a huge inconvenience, and cause many problems, but with St. Louis Mold Testing at your side, the process of mold detection and removal is simple. St. Louis Mold Testing performs mold inspections, and offers remedies to your mold problems. This is an important service, as mold can lead to mental impairment and neurological disorders, as well as infections that may result in death.

St. Louis Mold Testing employs a team of certified professionals with years of experience detecting and removing mold. These experts utilize a range of tests such as air tests, bulk tests, and surface tests. An air test involves taking several air samples from your home and testing them in a lab for mold spores. This test also informs you of the air quality in your home. A surface test involves taking swabs of surfaces throughout your home. Again, these samples are tested in a lab for mold spores. A bulk test involves taking items with visible mold for testing in a lab.

All three of these tests will tell you if mold is present in your home, and if so, what specific species of mold it is. This is accomplished in the lab, where scientists cultivate the mold culture, and examine the results. Specific results allow for specific action to be taken against your mold. Certain techniques work better for certain mold types, so using the correct technique the first time means that mold is less likely to recur.

If you would rather avoid this whole process, there are a few ways to prevent mold growth. Check pipes for leaks, use a dehumidifier, and clean up any excess moisture from leaks or floods promptly and thoroughly. You can alsous a HEPA vacuume cleaner, which is a type of vacuum cleaner that helps remove mold.

The most import fact to remember is that action against mold should be immediate. When left untreated, mold can cause significant health issues and grow into a much larger problem. The sooner mold is addressed, the easier it is to remove. Our experts make this process easy and worry free.
