What is Mold?

What is Mold?

Molds are fungal microorganisms that exist naturally in the environment. They can grow in buildings (and on building materials), especially in damp environments, and they release spores that become airborne.

Mold is present (and often invisible) in countless bathrooms, laundries, kitchens, linen closets, water-damaged buildings, and even in the air we breathe. It tends to grow and accumulate on and in damp, moist, or wet areas such as bathroom tiles, walls/wallpaper, ceilings, behind cladding, in and under carpets, in insulation materials, and in wood.

In homes, workplaces, and public-use areas, mold is problematic as it can cause health and well-being issues in humans (and, potentially, our pets) as well as, eventually, structural damage.

The Importance
of Mold Testing

Mold exposure is remarkably common, and its health impacts can be significant. These include unexplained fatigue, asthma and other respiratory diseases, airways irritation, allergies, headaches, and other health conditions such as immune dysfunction or neurological issues.

Visible mold must be treated immediately by a qualified, licensed mold technician. Much mold infestation, however, is invisible to the eye and/or growing behind walls, under flooring, or in hidden cavities.

Your first choice for mold testing in Dallas, Envirocheck offers expert, comprehensive mold inspection, analysis, and consultation services, fully licensed by TDLR and with laboratories accredited by AIHA.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Do I need mold testing at home?

You should hire a licensed inspector to test for the presence of mold if your home (or other building) is persistently damp or has visible mold, a musty odor, water damage, or before buying a home. It’s also advised when you or a family member experiences unexplained allergy symptoms, worsening asthma, headaches, fatigue, respiratory symptoms, or feels better when not at home.

2. Why are my allergies the worst at home?

Common concentrated indoor triggers of allergies at home include poor air circulation, dust mites, trapped pollen, pet dander, and mold. Mold testing/indoor air quality testing can provide valuable insights into the cause of your allergies/sensitivities and enable you to address the problem for a safer, healthier indoor environment.

3. How do I know if I have mold at home or in my workplace?

Aside from visible mold (common on bathroom ceilings and tiles), the only way to indisputably confirm its presence is to undergo scientific mold sampling and assessment by a professional mold testing and inspection provider like Envirocheck in Texas.

4. Do I need a mold inspection before buying, selling, or leasing?

General building inspections don’t usually identify hidden mold. Texas does not mandate mold inspection before buying or selling; however, it is strongly advised to mitigate health and legal risks. Sellers are not obligated to test for mold, but must disclose its presence if known. Landlords are legally obligated to repair/remediate, within seven days of written advisement, if it poses a health risk. Buyers should have specialized mold testing performed for peace of mind and to avoid remediation costs down the track.
