Mold Can Be Tricky
When it comes to assisting and identifying a good course of action, we have extensive knowledge. Whether you are along the Wasatch Front, Utah County, or Summit County, we can help you determine what might be in your home and how to eliminate growth and the risk of cross-contamination.
There are some details that every home and business owner should know, as common knowledge. Some of those details are:
- In Utah, mold isn’t regulated by the state, and for good reason. Generally, interior conditions are directly impacted by the current outside conditions. That means your mold counts can vary from day to day.
- The best testing for determining the type of mold and the mold counts in your home or business is air sampling. If somebody tries to sell you on a petri dish, run. It isn’t worth it.
- Mold can grow on any and all organic surfaces including paper, wood, cardboard, latex paint, etc.
- Mold needs water and a food source to grow. When we look for mold, we often look for water first, which is much easier to locate behind an unexposed wall or floor.
