Mold Testing and Inspection in Denver, CO

When Should You Test for Mold?

If you can see mold, or smell it, there is a risk to your health.

If your home has a history of water damage from floods, leaks, plumbing issues or storm repairs, there is a high probability you have mold.

If you see peeling paint (which should also be tested for lead if built before 1978) or peeling wallpaper, it can be caused by moisture, resulting in mold.

If you are feeling ill after moving to a new home or working in a different building or attending a new school, mold may be the cause.

Often, you never see mold if it is hiding behind walls, in your ceiling or crawlspace.

Hire a mold testing & inspection professional to determine if you have mold.

How Common is Mold?

Mold grows anywhere there is moisture … around pipes, leaky roofs, windows, or where there has been flooding.

Mold grows on almost anything … paper products, cardboard, ceiling tiles, floor boards, wood products, dust, paint, drywall, insulation, and many other things.

How Does Mold Affect You?

Mold affects people in different ways. Some people are extremely sensitive to mold, others not so much.

Mold exposure can cause symptoms like stuffy nose, wheezing, and red or itchy eyes or skin. 

People with asthma or allergies to mold usually experience more intense reactions. Exposure to large amounts of mold may cause severe reactions including fever and shortness of breath.

In 2009, The World Health Organization (WHO) issued the WHO Guidelines for Indoor Air Quality: Dampmness and Mould.

Other studies have shown a possible link between early exposure to mold with the development of asthma in children.

People with existing immune issues or lung disease are more susceptible to fungal infections and may experience breathing difficulties.

Improving the conditions in your home can reduce morbidity from asthma and respiratory allergies.

My partner met them, and said that they were terrific! I did not meet them myself. I have very much appreciated my interactions with Kyle who has been pleasant, professional, and spot on with his commitment.

Quick easy. Polite. Prompt. Update. I have asbestos. Good to know. The employee, Antonio, has forgotten about this detail and that, and while he's very polite, having to cope with multiple follow up calls on top of the bad news is more stressful than necessary. He forgot to measure the contaminated area, he forgot to ask what I did with the flooring, and so on. Please, Antonio please get your stuff done all at once, dragging this out is more of a migraine than the migraine I already have. The stress, and then the repeated, oh I forgot, I'm taking down a star.
