With the warm weather approaching and spring showers around the corner for Chesterfield homes and businesses, property owners tend to begin setting their sights on outdoor projects they’ve put off through the winter months. However, work should start in neglected spaces like the attic, which could be a breeding ground for mold and mildew concerns.
During the spring, mold testing in Chesterfield properties becomes a wise investment to provide some peace of mind regarding the effects of roof leaks, humidity, and rising temperatures on poorly ventilated confined spaces like the attic. Even a slight penetration of water can allow moisture to become trapped in insulation, pool along structural beams, or form condensation. All of these conditions can encourage mold development.
Is Mold Testing and Remediation Needed?
You might not frequent your attic space – many people do not. Some use it for storage, while other homeowners treat it like a forgotten bit of surface area in their households that remains unseen for years. As an attentive homeowner, you should stay mindful of some warning signs that might tell you it is time to consider professional testing and inspection services to track and confirm the presence of mold.
- An enduring musty malodor emanating from the attic or through the upper floors.
- Water staining on ceiling materials
- Peeling or bubbling paint on ceiling materials or at the edge where walls begin.
- Condensation appears on attic windows or vents.
Testing during the spring season is essential. The advanced testing methods of Sansara, such as air sampling and surface tape-lift testing strategies, identify airborne and settled spore content to track developing mold organisms.
