At AdvantaClean of West Knoxville, we are in the business of providing you with a healthy home or office. To accomplish this, we offer several services for mold remediation. People often reach out to us asking about mold testing. While mold is not something you want in your home and should be addressed quickly when found, a mold inspection is not always in order.  How do you know if you need a mold inspection?

Visible Signs of Mold

Did you know there are over 100,000 species of mold?  If you have visible mold damage, we cannot properly identify the mold without swab testing or air sample testing. In most cases, if you can see the mold, we don’t recommend mold testing. Instead, we will remove all the mold we find and thoroughly clean any impacted areas.

Symptomatic Signs of Mold

While you may not have seen any mold, there may still be signs it is present. Is there someone in your home or office experiencing symptoms of mold exposure? These symptoms can include:

• Sneezing and coughing
• Congestion
• Rash
• Itching
• Watery or irritated eyes
• Chest tightness, wheezing, or lung irritation

If you suspect these symptoms may be due to a problem with mold, we can provide you a with a mold inspection to determine if you have a mold problem and its severity. We can then move forward with a plan to resolve the issue, so you can have a cleaner, healthier home or office.
