Mold Testing
Mold is a fungus, and like all fungi, it thrives in moist places. Mold spreads by emitting spores, microscopic particles often as small as a single cell. These spores float around in the air until they land on a surface. Mold spores are everywhere, outdoors as well as inside your house.
Seeing mold in the cracks and corners of your walls definitely means it is growing and spreading more spores. Keep in mind that mold may also grow in places you cannot see, such as in your ducts or between your walls.
Although it is thought to be rare to exist in a climate such as Arizona, all it takes is water to exist. Mold can be a health hazard that can cause or create breathing issues, headaches, and allergies. If the property has experienced any water issues such as plumbing leaks, water penetration, roof leaks or if you suspect mold, our inspectors can provide an air quality test and sample testing to put your mind at ease.
