Mold Inspection and Air Sampling
Repercussions from mold intrusion can affect both the building structure and human health. However, the enormous variety of molds and wide range of human susceptibility hinders the ability for mold to be subject to state and federal regulations.Mold spores are ubiquitous in the environment and mold can begin growing (i.e., blooming) indoors within 24 hours following water intrusion, causing damage to material possessions and impacting human health. Growth on furniture, walls, carpeting, drapes, clothes and a wide range of cellulose-based matter is often visible and obvious, whether it be as minor as bathroom mildew or a gross infestation of a home requiring significant remediation and/or loss of property.
However, the effects on human health are not always so visible, and in many cases are not made aware to the sufferer. There may be no odor, no visible presence of mold, and not even a known cause or awareness as to the mold's proliferation. Mold grows under the same conditions that are comfortable to us, does not necessarily need light and can grow undetected behind walls, under carpets and in HVAC ducts. ARG provides mold inspections and indoor air quality sampling and evaluation for mold, bacteria, and other chemical contamination.
