AEI Decon Provides Mold House Testing Services In Utah

AEI Decon, based in Salt Lake City, Utah, has announced that they are offering mold testing services for homes in Utah. Mold testing is essential in order to protect the home and health of the family members. In fact, every home has mold and the potential for mold to grow, which can result in health risks for the family and even cause structural damage to the home. Homeowners may want to prevent moisture from accumulating in certain areas in the home. And as soon as people suspect there is mold growth in the home, it would be advisable for them to contact a mold testing provider like AEI Decon.

Nate Coombs, owner and general manager of AEI Decon, says, “Our mold testing professionals are available to test your home or building for mold as soon as you suspect a mold problem. Early detection can prevent costly repairs and can prevent mold growth from spreading and causing serious health problems. Although most adults have an immune system capable of fighting toxic mold, young children and the elderly are at high risk of serious health problems and even death if mold symptoms are left unnoticed.”

There are various health dangers from mold growth in the home. There are more than 100,000 known species of mold but some of those commonly found in homes and commercial buildings are Aspergillus penicillium, Cladosporium and Stachybotrys. The last one is commonly known as toxic black mold and its impact on the health of people can be serious. Molds can cause allergic reactions in susceptible people, especially for the very young and the elderly, whose immune systems may not be strong enough. This could result in respiratory problems. Some types of mold can even cause suppression of the immune system or cause certain types of cancer.

The problem with mold is that it is difficult to see it, particularly if it is growing behind walls or in other places not often seen by the people living in the home, like under roofing shingles. Fortunately, mold may be detected by smell because it has a unique musty odor that is easily recognizable. People may also experience physical symptoms like a rash, headaches, eye irritation, and even asthma, and these may indicate that there is a mold problem in the home. If these signs are present, it would be advisable to call for professional mold testing. Problems with a leaky roof, leaky pipes or accumulation of moisture may also be indicative of the potential presence of mold.

Homeowners may want to be on the lookout for the physical symptoms of mold contamination. These include skin rashes and itching, eye irritation, congestion, asthma or aggravation of existing asthma, lung infection, flu-like symptoms that won’t go away, fatigue, respiratory dysfunction, dizziness, frequent and excessive nose bleeds, vomiting, headaches, and bladder or urinary tract infections. The health impact of molds may range from the very mild to the very severe, even requiring hospitalization. One way that people can find out if their symptoms are related to the home they are living in is to go on a vacation and see if the symptoms disappear.

AEI Decon employs a number of mold testing procedures and technology. These include infrared (FLIR) technology, protimeter measurements, ATP swabs, air sampling, and surface swabs. If mold testing results are positive, it would be time to have AEI Decon mitigate or remediate those areas where mold has been detected.

The mold cleanup products used by the company are capable of stopping mold growth and even preventing future mold growth. AEI Decon makes use of the best available products for mold cleanup and decontamination to ensure that people and their pets will be safe from mold and its health effects. These products have also been ascertained to be safe for humans and pets.
