for the newbe on mold testing

[Guest guest]

If you are looking at a possable lawsuit I would hire professionals for

swab and airtests. if possable airtesting should be done while your in

the home and when you know the mold is active based on symptoms either

acting up or worsening which ever the case is. its important that

airtests are done under normal daily ativity's to hopefully show more

accurate amounts that you are being exposed to. I think theres enough

known about airtesting now that it could be explained that it's not

exact science but does have it's usefullness, as airtests cannot over

predict exposure but can underpredict it. if your symptoms are worse

with heat on, have heat on. if worse after vacumming, vacumm. the idea

of airtest is supposed to show amounts you are exposed to.

if just for yourself knowing, if it's makeing you ill thats enough

info. that you need to get out, its not going to get better without

remediation and you will still want a expert if you go that route.

if rightnow you just want to know what mold types you are exposed to do

your own tape tests and send them to a lab for testing, if mold is

visable. you might try calling companys that do rayon testing and ask

if they know of a reliable company that does testing for mold.
