Mold is a type of fungi that grows under specific conditions: humidity and darkness.
If you currently have or previously had leaks in your home, or suffered from a flood or a windstorm, it exists the possibility of having mold in your home.
After water or wind damage, mold appears in many materials such as wood, drywall, fabrics, upholstery, or carpets, and the appearance of mold can vary between colors like green, orange, black, blue, or white, always having a velvety texture.
If your problem accomplishes the above description, you need ASAP the help of NVP MOLD.
Yes, having professional assistance is the best option to identify Mold.
Doing it by yourself or without a qualified person is risky because you can’t know how big the mold problem is and having contact with it is potentially dangerous.
Mold reproduces by spores that spread through the air. If you have direct contact with an affected area while taking a sample or trying to clean it, could lead to body reactions such as irritation, sneezing, runny nose, congestion, or other major complications if you continue your exposition daily.
For those reasons, we do not recommend you to use home kits to carry out a mold test by yourself.
If you suspect having mold in your place, call NVP Mold and receive a professional service to check:
First, if there is indeed mold, and once its presence is verified, the status of your mold problem/problems, and its type/types.
Detecting it at the right time is the best way to protect your place and the people you care about.
Do not forget that a mold problem not only can be an aesthetic problem but also a health risk.
