Air quality testing is a crucial part of mold remediation. By testing the air in your home, you can determine the level of mold spores present and take steps to remove them.
There are two main types of air quality tests: surface sampling and air sampling. Surface sampling involves taking a sample of the mold growth and sending it to a laboratory for analysis. Air sampling involves using a specialized machine to collect a sample of the air in your home and send it to a laboratory for analysis.
The results of the air quality test will help you determine the best course of action for mold remediation. If the level of mold spores is low, you may be able to clean the affected area with a damp cloth. If the level of mold spores is high, you will need to take more aggressive action, such as hiring a professional mold remediation company.
