3 Reasons You Should Get Your Home Tested for Mold
Mold testing is a great investment. Whether you’ve recently purchased a new home, are in the process of closing and inspecting a potential home purchase, or just suspect that your current home may have hidden mold issues, mold testing is a great way to get peace of mind and recognize any potential issues. Why? Here are just 3 reasons that home mold testing is so important.
- Even A Minor Leak Can Quickly Result In Mold Growth
Contrary to what you might think, mold doesn’t need a lot of water in order to grow. Even a little bit of moisture, such as a minor plumbing leak, roof leak, or even a bathroom with broken or malfunctioning ventilation fan can easily provide mold colonies with enough moisture to begin to grow and thrive.
For this reason, mold can begin to grow and spread much more quickly than you may think. Even in a home that is well-maintained, there’s always a risk that mold may begin to affect your walls if you have an untreated leak or moisture-prone area.
- The Majority of Mold Is Invisible
Mold testing is the only way you can truly determine the extent of mold presence in your home. While you may think that you can always see mold colonies, this is not the case. Oftentimes, mold will build up in your walls and in your home before it appears on exterior walls – in most cases, the majority of mold colonies are invisible and hidden behind your walls.
Once the mold becomes obvious on your walls, it will often have spread throughout large areas of your home, requiring expensive mold remediation. Testing a moist area before this happens and identifying mold can save you both time and money.
- Mold Colonies Can Easily Spread Throughout the Entire Home
Once a mold colony has established itself, the spores can start drifting throughout your entire home, and taking root anywhere that is dark and moist enough to encourage mold growth. Because of this, mold can quickly spread throughout your entire home, and affect just about every room – and mold testing is necessary to determine the spread of the mold.
