Q: How would I know if my air quality needs to be tested?

A: Sometimes we recommend air quality testing if you suspect mold (like a damp, musty odor) but can’t immediately see visual signs of it. If you know your home or property has had a mold/fungus issue in the past and think it may have returned, or if you experienced recent water damage, it could be beneficial. It’s also helpful in ruling out the cause of unknown allergies to you or others living in the space – some molds and fungi can cause mild reactions like sneezing, sore/itchy eyes, nasal congestion, rashes, and more serious reactions like headaches, memory loss, dizziness, trouble concentrating, and even hearing loss.
