Mold Inspections
Mold can be a serious health issue — especially if someone in your family has breathing issues, is very young or very old; even otherwise healthy people will react unfavorably if there is mold in your home, though. This can be as simple as having allergy symptoms on a year-round basis — even in the winter when nearly all common allergens are dormant or as serious as developing asthma or other lung conditions.
IAQ Sciences can help you in every step required to address the mold problem. With each mold inspection, you are presented with documentation of what was found in your home as well as recommended solutions.
