Why You Need Mold Testing San Francisco

By Stacey Burt


When homes are infested with molds, the owners should test the interior surfaces and air to determine if the microbes are posing a health concern. Molds are found everywhere and in homes, they will be present but in small numbers. Unless they have overgrow and multiplied, they normally do not present any problem. A mold testing San Francisco helps you determine how safe or harmful the molds are and whether you need to remove them immediately.

There are different kinds of molds and while some are toxic others may not, But all molds affect the health of people. They can cause allergenic reactions when their spores are inhaled. People may suffer from complications such as sneezing, coughing, wheezing chest, throat irritation, eye irritation, watery eyes, running nose, and nasal congestion.

Not all molds are toxic but all molds can be harmful to people. When the spores are inhaled, they cause complications in body. Spores can cause allergy reactions. You may suffer from problems like coughing, sneezing, chest wheezing, irritation of throat, irritation of eyes, watery eyes, and nasal congestion.

In as little as about 48 hours, you may have molds growing in a home as long as the conditions are favorable. If you keep your home dry, molds may not have the chance to multiply and will remain at controlled levels. However when the moisture content increases, that is when you experience problems with these microbes.

Moreover, the windows in a house also suffer from moisture problems. When there is a difference in temperature of the area outside a building and the air inside the house, the window glasses form vapor. You will see the glasses looking foggy and misty. That moisture on glass drips slowly and soaks in concretes and window frames.

Soon you may have moisture around the window surfaces leading to molds. As long as there is increased moisture and darkness, molds will multiply. However, in areas, which are under direct sunlight, molds may not survive. The UV light tends to kill these microbes.

Basements are located in surfaces below ground level. If there is an increase in moisture of the surrounding grounds, it may seep down and collect in the interior of basements. In addition, basements are also dark and lack proper ventilation making it ideal for molds to grow. During the testing, different methods may be applied.

An air sample involves picking the air inside a house and testing it to determine the concentration of the molds. This air test can give results of hidden molds. Many a time, by the time you see molding growing on surfaces, they have already invaded hidden areas. You could be having colonies of molds in between the joints or under the floor tiles. A surface testing is conducted to determine the areas that are invaded.
