Mold Testing New York City and Queens

Mold Testing New York City Mold spores are a fact of nature, and always present in the air around us. While this information is definitely true, the same as household dust and workplace allergens, all of the airborne particles mentioned can be very harmful when they present in large quantities. Too much mold can be a real health hazard for humans, so at the first sign of trouble –or even better, before- it’s a good idea to have Moldbusters perform mold testing and air quality testing on your NYC or Queens home or business. What can mold really do that’s so bad? For starters, exposure to high concentrations of mold can not only aggravate, but outright cause health problems. Some of the most common include allergic reactions, eye, nose and throat irritations, sinus congestion, respiratory problems, and asthmatic episodes. If your home or workplace has mold that has not been tested for and subsequently removed at the source, you may be at high risk of inhaling these immune-compromising particles. As if all that isn’t frightening enough, some people –especially those with compromised immune systems- may begin togrow mold spores on their own living tissue! This, of course, is extremely unhealthy and unsanitary! The best way to remove this risk? Mold testing and air quality testing to determine where the trouble spots are in your compromised indoor air quality. How is mold testing done? There are two main types of mold testing: air testing, and swab or tape testing.

Air Testing-Mold testing of particles in the air begins with an assessment of the affected areas, including the taking of visual, and indoor and outdoor (as a control) air samples. Any individual areas that are especially suspect are examined.
Swab and Tape Testing-This type of mold testing also begins with assessment of the affected area, but instead of sampling air, samples are taken from specific surface locations with a swab or special piece of tape.

Some indoor spaces in New York City and Queens only require air testing, and some only spot swab and tape testing, however, it’s always advantageous to do both to fully eliminate any pesky mold spores from your space. After testing, all samples are submitted to the Moldbusters lab for complete analysis. A detailed lab report is the produced, and interpreted by the professionals at Moldbusters, who will recommend the best course of action to rid your NYC property of its mold condition.
