Indoor air quality (IAQ) refers to the level of contaminants found in the air inside buildings. Indoor air pollution can cause health problems such as asthma, allergies, headaches, coughing, sneezing, and sinus infections.
Mold is a fungus which grows on organic material such as food, paper, wood, cloth, leather, rubber, etc. It is also found on damp surfaces and moist places.
In addition, poor IAQ can lead to structural damage, including drywall cracking, wood rot, and water damage.
Mold spores are everywhere and can grow anywhere, even indoors. If there is moisture present, mold can grow. This includes water leaks, condensation, humidifiers, plumbing problems, and poor ventilation.
A mold inspection is an important step in maintaining healthy indoor air quality. A mold inspection helps identify potential sources of moisture and humidity, which can contribute to mold growth.

The most common types of mold include black mold, blue-green mold, gray mold, green mold, pink mold, red mold, white mold, and yellow mold. These molds produce toxins called mycotoxins.
Mold inspections also help determine whether there are any signs of water intrusion. Water intrusion occurs when water enters a building through cracks or holes in the foundation, roof, exterior walls, windows, doors, or floor coverings.
These toxins can cause health issues ranging from respiratory illnesses to skin rashes.
Water intrusion can result in serious structural damage, including water-damaged drywall, damaged insulation, and wet carpets.
