Are your family members suffering unexplained respiratory allergies when they visit certain sections of the house? The indoor air quality should be suspect when you eliminate other underlying health issues. Mold is the biggest threat to indoor air quality. It is undetectable by naked sight or smell until it is in high quantities, by which time it will have caused health issues. It is advisable to engage mold testing services for several reasons:

Ensure Health Safety of Occupants 

Mold spores are toxic and allergic. They exacerbate respiratory ailments like asthma, colds, sneezing, and pneumonia. Unexplained respiratory problems usually point out to poor indoor air quality. Your doctor can see symptoms of mold allergies, which become notable with several clinic visits. The doctor may ask you to do mold testing to verify the existence of mold in the house.  

Ensure Safety After Flood or Humidity Damage 

Mold finds a good breeding ground in areas that have suffered plumbing leaks. Unnoticed leaks, like in the basement or attic, often attract mold. More extensive mold invasion occurs after flood damage. It is easy to miss some patches during flood remediation, which then attract mold. You need mold testing to ensure that your remediation measures have cleared the mold totally.

Extract More Value in Space 

Do you have an unused basement that you want to convert? Do mold testing in such spaces that have remained unused to ensure air safety before using them. Clearing mold from your spaces allows safe use and extracting value in that space. It is more important for rental premises where you need all the space you are renting. 

Increase Property Value 

Visible mold is an instant turn-off with its greenish-black slimy color. It stains building surfaces, which can reduce your property value by a great deal. If you are putting up a home for sale, mold clearing is mandatory if you would like to fetch a good price. Mold testing also protects the property buyer because they can recognize the problem, and plan for it. 

Settle Tenancy Disputes 

Sometimes it is hard to convince a landlord they need to spend money on property maintenance. Mold is often unseen, which can make a landlord even more reluctant. You can only prove you need mold remediation by engaging mold testing services to generate a report. You can then use this report to push the landlord to take responsibility.
