Mold Testing & Inspections
Commercial, Residential Fort Lauderdale & Boca Raton

Exposure to mold has been linked to illnesses such as asthma and other serious respiratory conditions. Mold is everywhere, but scientific evidence indicates that breathing mold contaminated air within homes and other buildings can be a danger for humans and their pets. Since many people spend up to 90 percent of their time indoors, the health risks of exposure to mold may be greater than one would expect.
How people react to mold depends on different variables. Age, genetics and health conditions are the most important factors. Individual sensitivities to mold can be experienced by people of all ages. Health risks increase if there are infants, children, elderly people or people with depressed immune systems in the home.

Many times the effects are similar to the common cold or flu. This makes it difficult to determine if the symptoms could be the result of exposure to mold. Symptoms that go away when the person leaves the home or building and comes back when the person returns, may possibly be related to mold in the building. Every effort should be made to identify and correct the conditions that result in mold and poor indoor air quality.

Mold problems are not just limited to homes. Commercial businesses have a duty to protect their employees and customers from potential health hazards. Employees may suffer from one or more symptoms such as: dry or burning mucous membranes in the nose, eyes, and throat; sneezing; stuffy or runny nose; fatigue or lethargy; headache; dizziness; nausea; irritability and forgetfulness.
Up to 30 percent of new or remodeled commercial buildings have received complaints by employees that may be related to mold or poor indoor air quality.
There is no level of mold that is considered safe. If your home or business has mold, you need to know.
