Mold is a significant concern for homeowners, buyers, and sellers. This dangerous organism exists naturally and can invade your home via plants, foods, and organic materials indoor or out. Mold spores make their way into our homes via doorways, windows, and HVAC systems. It thrives in humid conditions such as leaky roofs, pipes, bath tubs, humidifiers, and overflowing sinks.

Mold Testing in Clearwater
As a mold testing company, our goal is to provide our clients with unparalleled service. To deliver flawless results, we employ special techniques that involve a multi-step process. Below is a brief overview of the two main types of testing we conduct. After testing is completed it’s sent to a lab to determine the mold type.
Air Quality Test
Mold spores are omnipresent both indoors and outdoors, making their way into homes through windows and doors. However, the level or concentration of mold inside versus outside determines its significance. Air sample tests accurately describe the amount of spores in the air at the time of testing but can vary from moment to moment or day by day. Typically, the air test is conducted once per 1000 square feet indoors and once outdoors. Often, people wonder why an outdoor test is necessary. The answer is simple: an outdoor test serves as a baseline or reference to compare indoor spore counts.
Surface Test
If there's visible evidence of mold on a surface, a surface test is usually carried out to identify the type of mold present. It's worth noting that surface tests do not distinguish between mold species, but rather focus on the type of mold. With over one million species of mold in existence, the swab test only identifies the family of species instead of the actual species. In case it's necessary to know the specific species of mold, the laboratory will need to grow the sample, which is not usually needed as long as the mold can be identified to a particular family or category.

The 6 Types of Mold Likely Making You Sick
Below are the six most common molds that are likely making your sick and how we deal with them.
Stachybotrys
Remove and discard the damaged materials that cannot be salvaged by ripping and tearing them out. Stachybotrys is aggressive and high toxic so this is the only real solution.
Chaetomium
Dry ice blasting is generally used since it leaves zero residue as the dry ice pellets turn into gas. Typically, this approach is employed on concrete, brickwork, and attics.
Aspergillus
This is a less aggressive mold so wiping the mold away works. Once the mold is wiped away we can then paint over the affected area bring the conditional back to a pre-damaged state.
Fusarium
After the mold removal process once the mold is dead. The remaining molds are harmless. So wiping the mold away and painting over is the general process for Fusarium.
Penicillium
Like Fusarium, Removing every last bit of Penicillium is not essential as the remaining mold poses no harm. So materials don't need to be ripped out. They can be painted over.
Alternaria
Again, like the last two. There is no need to rip out materials and do an total renovation. Once the mold has been killed. The mold is harmless. It can be wiped away and the area painted over.
