Hopewell, VA DIY Mold Testing has Dismal Reputation
Be Aware: Home mail order test kits (petri-trays) which are meant to grow the mold spores floating around in your home have a less than useful reputation. Mold spores exist everywhere so your test kit will probably develop mold because it’s the perfect environment for them besides the tray could have been contaminated with mold spores before it came- the growth started after you mixed the nutrient. It only takes one mold spore carried on a breeze through an open door or window landing on the dish which in 24 to 48 hours could produce a colony- in your non-infested home.
Unfortunately, there are no standards for storage of mold test kits. They could have been stored for a very long time and consequently packaging may have broken down allowing errant mold spores to enter and contaminate it. Species of mold or extent of mold growth can't be determined by appearance of the mold in the tray but rather has to be examined by an expert under a microscope. Often times the company that sells the mold test kit will offer further testing for an additional charge but these labs seldom provide information much beyond species which may or may not be the species causing the problem. Mold spores are different sizes and weights so will popularize a petri-dish at different rates. It really is much more complicated to determine the specifics of mold growth in a home than one would at first think.
Call the professional Hero Mold Removal, it will cost nothing and you’ll have more success finding the mold problem in your home with knowledgeable help.

Air Quality Testing Hopewell VA: Costs of Dangerous Breathing
The invisible world of Air Quality does not seem to impact families until unexplained health problems arise, such as eye irritation, runny nose, sore throat, skin rashes, headache, fatigue, shortness of breath, sinus congestion, coughing, sneezing dizziness and nausea these symptoms are mostly noticed at home but after away for a few hours or after a vacation they improve until home again. When this set of symptoms comes to pass, people begin to wonder if every breath they take at home is an injury and realize it's time to get help.
Energy efficient homes are designed to be air tight in order to prevent energy transfer to the outside and have saved us energy cost but left an unfortunate consequence of extremely poor air to breathe. Builders have locked in stale air teaming with allergy-inducing pet dander, house dust mites, volatile gasses from cleaning chemicals, formaldehyde a gas contained in building products and mold spores- the bad air circulates continuously throughout the home. Another problem is Radon- a radioactive gas released from the earth due to the decay of uranium- found in nearly all soils to some degree. Radon is the second leading cause of cancer. If you smoke and radon levels are high in your home, your risk of lung cancer is especially high. Hero Mold Removal Air Quality testing can find all the harmful compounds that may make your family sick and once the problem is understood the solutions can be quickly applied.
Less energy efficient homes from 3- or 4- decades past have many areas of leaks that could push polluted air out and bring in fresh air. These dangerous compounds we are breathing in our homes is a sad consequence to recent building practices of making air tight homes. No worries, the last decade has developed solutions to restore healthy air- just contact us and find out what ill air your breathing and the affordable solutions we can implement to fix it.

Hopewell VA Expert Crawl Space Encapsulation: Reasonable Costs
Hero Mold Company offers affordable Encapsulation services in crawl space trouble with excessive moisture. Professional encapsulation when accompanied with a dehumidifier or air exchange system will control Mold, Rot and Mildew. Insects, Pests will be mostly sealed out and the lack of moisture will not encourage them to come. Also, a controlled environment in the crawl space improves Energy Efficiency.
Most Homes have traditional Crawl spaces designed with cross-ventilation vents to hopefully remove humidity and recycle the air that travels upwards into the home. In the past few decades Building Environmental Science has found that 50% of air in our homes comes from the crawl space. Crawl space air teeming with mold spores, mildew odors, radon gas and bacteria from pest waste travels upwards bringing foul odors and sometimes sickness to family members. Ask Hero Mold Removal to check the quality of the air in your crawl space. Test it for mold, mildew, insects, excessive moisture and rodents: This is all done at no charge or expectation.
Heavy Humidity trapped within a crawl space causes mold, mildew and become a draw for rodents and insects like termites and cockroaches whom require moist conditions to survive. The wind and sunlight in the outside environment will eventually disperse humidity but in a crawl space it tends to get trapped. Pests, like mice, drawn to the moist conditions will most likely get inside the crawl space and move throughout the home within the wall cavities sort of a hidden highway where they chew on wires, pipes and other building materials. Crawl Space Encapsulation is designed to control these problems.
