NJ Mold Testing - Don't Be Too Quick To Assume It Must Be Done
The truth is, a credible mold company will seldomly recommend that you get mold testing done. There are definitely scenarios where it needs to be done, but mold NJ homeowners simply won't need it. If any mold removal companies in NJ try to force these tests on you, always get more than 1 opinion.
Mold tests are only needed if someone in the home suffers from allergies, asthma, or various immuno suppressive disorders. In cases like these, its usually smart to figure out what strain of mold is growing inside a home. Its also smart to know exactly where the mold is growing. The fact is, most companies will focus on areas in your home that have the worst contamination. They will treat the mold, remove it, but you will always run the risk of them missing colonies that might be growing behind walls or under your floodboards.
If the company removes the mold, and someone in your home has asthma, they may still react to the colonies that were never identified. It is much more important in these scenarious to run a complete analysis on the entire home. But in most situations, this won't be needed. In most situations, you only need to identify mold visually and remove the mold you can see.
Another reason why mold testing isn't always so important... toxicity isn't the only factor that is factored in when deciding to treat mold. A lot of times, whether the mold is harmful or not, it can pose a serious risk to the structure of a home. Often times posing a great danger than termites. Mold spreads faster, breaks down wood faster, and can result in problems much faster than termites can.
