Southampton Mold Remediation
Does My Home Need Mold Testing? A Moldbusters Guide to Air Safety at Home
If you live in Southampton, Long Island, mold and moisture are a part of your home life. Of the 295.6 square miles that make up the Southampton 11968 census district, 53.02% are covered in water! Most of us wouldn’t have it any other way; we live here because we love the waters natural beauty. The downside? Mold is a part of everyday life.
When to Test for Mold
Mold testing should be conducted when and if you suspect there is mold in the home. Not sure what to look for? Luckily, there are a few easy-to-spot signs that mold might be a problem:
Unpleasant Odors—Did you know that when a home smells ‘musty,’ mold is the cause? Mold often hides out of sight in carpets, walls, attics, basements, and crawlspaces. If you can smell a musty odor, it’s definitely time to have our Moldbusters team come in for a full mold analysis, involving air quality testing and mold testing.
Flooding—If your home has ever flooded (and many Southampton homes in the 11968 zip code have), mold testing is imperative.
Visible Mold—By the time mold becomes visible, it is already airborne and spreading throughout the home.
Health Problems—Think a little mold is no big deal? Think again! If you or your family suffer from health problems like chronic sinus infections, headaches, coughing and wheezing, rashes, hives or fatigue, mold may be to blame. Mold can also exacerbate existing medical conditions like allergies, immune disorders, and respiratory disorders.
How Does Moldbusters Test for Mold?
Mold testing involves a mold inspection. Air quality testing and swab/tape testing are used to assess all potential sources of mold. Samples are taken from surfaces, and air samples are collected. A certified inspector conducts all examinations, who takes great care to identify all problem areas and potential sources of moisture before sending collected samples to the lab. A thorough analysis allows our team to determine whether your property has a mold presence.
