​​MOLD INSPECTIONS

Most homeowners are aware of the dangers of mold growth in their home, and many are able to identify mold when they see it. However, determining the exact severity and extent of a mold problem can be much more challenging. Mold can grow virtually anywhere with exposure to high humidity or moisture. This includes within walls, underneath appliances, or in hidden nooks and crannies of the home. Because mold spores can easily become airborne and travel throughout your home, mold growth is rarely contained to just one area. It is crucial to find and eliminate all mold in your home in order to prevent recurring problems. At Dayton Mold Remediation, we offer professional home mold inspections and mold assessment services to not only help you locate all mold growth in your home, but also to provide you with more information about exactly what you are dealing with and how it can be addressed.
 
What Type of Mold Is It?
While black mold might be the most notorious, there are many different types of mold that can pose a risk to you and your home. Identifying the type of mold growing in your home can provide you with insight into the adverse health effects to look out for, as well as allow you to choose an appropriate course for remediation. Each type of mold has a distinct color and appearance that distinguishes it apart, however, our professional mold inspection service is the best way to confirm whether what you are looking at is indeed mold and, if so, what type it is.
 
Why Should I Be Worried About Black Mold?
All molds can be harmful to humans but black mold, in particular, is the most dangerous due to the mycotoxins it releases. These toxins can cause a wide range of adverse health effects, including coughing, wheezing, sore throats, respiratory infections, and skin and eye irritation. Exposure over a long period of time can even cause memory loss, fatigue, depression, and confusion.
 
What’s the Difference Between Mold and Mildew?
While mold and mildew are often thought of as one and the same, there are significant differences in the risks they pose to human health and the structures they affect. It is easy to tell the two apart if you know what to look for. Mildew is typically white, grey, or yellow in color and has a powdery texture. On the other hand, mold is generally green or black (although some types can also be yellow or pink) and slimy. Although mildew should be treated and removed if discovered, mold is the greater threat to both your health and your home. If you suspect that you have a mold problem, you need to call a professional right away.
