Is Your Residence or Structure Causing You Illness?
If your living or working environment mirrors the image on the left, the response is unequivocally affirmative.
Yet, even if nothing is immediately visible, the answer may still be yes. Mold, bacteria, and other pollutants have the ability to lurk behind appliances, furniture, trim work, wallpaper, and even within walls, remaining hidden from view but still capable of affecting the quality of the air you breathe.
Identifying possible Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) issues typically involves recognizing common allergy symptoms like nasal congestion, runny nose, coughing, sneezing, and inflammation.
Our expertise lies in diagnosing Sick Building Syndrome. Upon suspecting an IAQ concern, our initial approach involves a thorough building inspection and air sampling. These samples are meticulously analyzed in our laboratory to pinpoint potential problems and suggest the appropriate course of action.
The key components for the growth of fungi are moisture, temperature, and a food source. If a water leak goes unnoticed for a month or longer, it can provide the perfect environment for mold to thrive.
Every mold colony is teeming with millions of spores, and any form of disruption heightens the risk of inhaling these spores.
Although we typically associate mushrooms with flourishing in damp, dark environments, under suitable circumstances, they can also thrive on surfaces such as wallpaper, drywall, and carpet.
We are here to assist in restoring the safety of your home!
Arsenic, utilized as a preservative in select wallpapers, has the potential to be metabolized by specific fungi, producing arsine, a profoundly toxic gas.
