1. Indoor Air Quality Testing _______________________________________________________________ Indoor Air Quality Testing is an important process to ensure that all people are breathing clean and healthy air. In most homes, the majority of indoor air contamination is due to dust, mildew and mold spores. The main source of these organisms is indoor sources of moisture such as cracks, leaky pipes, condensation in the air conditioning system, and condensation on window and door frames. Mold is especially prevalent in basements, which makes them prime candidates for contamination. However, it can occur anywhere in a building, so indoor air quality testing is necessary to determine if mold is present. To perform an ​indoor air quality testing San Francisco​, inspectors gather samples from a home or other commercial property by collecting samples from the floor, ceiling and walls. Inspectors can also take indoor air samples and transport it for testing at a laboratory. When a sample is received at the laboratory, the sample is evaluated for the presence of airborne microorganisms. If the sample tests positive, then the inspector performs further analysis to see if there are any signs of health problems associated with mold. When you hire an indoor air quality testing company, they use advanced equipment and testing methods to determine the presence of mold spores and other types of contaminants in a building. Because many buildings contain mold spores, testing can be done in only one place or it can be performed at several different locations. Some companies, however, offer services that allow for a more comprehensive sampling, including sampling from the interior and outside of the building. It is important to test a building for mold as soon as possible because mold spores can grow to very large amounts in a very short amount of time. Once mold is found, it can spread quickly and cause serious health problems. Symptoms include respiratory illness, difficulty breathing, headaches, nosebleeds, fever, and eye irritation. It is important to get the indoor air quality testing done when you think that you have mold in your building. Mold spores are difficult to remove once they have been located and they can easily settle into the crevices and areas of the house where they start growing. Mold spores have the ability to reproduce very rapidly, so even if you have found the spores in only one area of the house, you may still have mold spores growing. When you are done with indoor air quality testing, the company will then report back to you with their findings. Most companies will give you a complete report on the findings and what steps will need to be taken to fix the situation. These may include removing
