Do I need a mold inspection in my Orlando home?  Well if you’re asking, the answer may be yes. What are the reasons we need our home inspected for mold? There are a full range of reasons people want to have a mold inspection on their home. Some of these reasons could range from water leaks resulting from roof damage or pipes inside the wall springing a leak. Some other reasons we may want to have a mold inspection performed on our Orlando home is the smell of mold or mildew. Mold or mildew smells can be the result of many different issues. If you’re not sure where the smell is coming from, you should have a mold inspection scheduled. When mold is present, it produces spores just like a flower would. If mold spores are present in your home it will affect your indoor air quality adversely. These spores find their way to the A/C system and make it throughout your entire home. Most mold outbreaks can be resolved relatively easy if caught early enough.

If you have asked the question; should I have my Orlando home or business inspected for mold? The answer is yes. Best case scenario there is little or no mold, and the piece of mind will pay for itself. If there are elevated levels of mold in the indoor air, it’s better to know and address it. The experts at Ajek Mold Inspection can help. Give us a call today to schedule an appointment at 407.312.2358 or online at www.orlandomoldinspector.com

There are many odors that we have from time to time in our Orlando homes. One typical way people deal with these odors is to spray some “air freshener, or to light a candle. For the most part these quick fix remedies only cover the odor for a short time. As far as air fresheners go, if you can smell it, you are breathing in those harsh chemicals. That isn’t the best thing for your lungs to have to deal with, especially if you have breathing sensitivities.  Candles do damage to our indoor air quality by all the smoke they produce. When you you use either of these “cover up’” methods you introducing all of their by products in your indoor air. I know the result of using these products, but is it worth it? If you smell them, you are introducing them to your body. You wouldn’t spray an air freshener into your nose or your child’s nose directly, but you are by spraying them in the air you both breathe. Those air borne contaminants also get sucked up into your A/C unit and pushes it throughout your entire home. Bottom line, be aware of the products you use, especially when it come to you and your families health.

This is just one example of how we can better our own indoor air quality in our Orlando home, by not doing more, but by doing less. The experts at Ajek Mold Inspection can help you understand what helps and hurts your air quality you breath.

Of course you wouldn’t be sending out an invitation, but you may be opening the door for mold to make it’s way into your Orlando home. One of the worst things you could do to compromise the indoor air quality, is to open your windows. The main purpose of the air conditioner is just that, condition the air in your home. Let’s say you have a good indoor air envelope (meaning the air quality you are breathing in your Orlando home is good), and you decide to open your windows to let that “fresh air” in. Sometimes that is OK to do, but not this time of the year. With all the rain and standing water we’ve had in central Florida in the last month or so the mold counts are very high in the outdoor air. By opening your windows you are letting those high levels of mold spores into your Orlando home. The air conditioner is where they will end up and possibly grow from there. Think about the environment around you before you open those windows. There are sometimes throughout the year where the levels of mold spores are low and opening your windows isn’t such a bad idea.

The experts at Ajek Mold Inspection are here to assist you with all your indoor air quality issues. Give us a call  at 407.312.2358 or online at www.orlandomoldinspector.com to schedule an indoor air quality inspection today.

Orlando mold inspections are needed now more than ever. The average person has no idea of what is in the air of which they breathe. Some people have the attitude that if they ignore it, it won’t bother them. Believe me the poor indoor air quality they are breathing is bothering them. Poor indoor air quality is a very real thing, and sometimes goes unnoticed for years. The average Orlando homeowner doesn’t think about mold unless they see or smell it. You could be breathing harmful toxic mold spores every day and not know it. The illnesses and symptoms vary but the culprit is the same…. Mold. Think of the smoker, they don’t show the signs of smoking for years even though the effect started many years earlier. I, like you were totally oblivious to the real mold issues until I got in the business. Awareness is the first step to resolving the mold issues in your Orlando home. The experts at Ajek Mold inspection want you to understand why it’s there, and how to get rid of it. Give us at 407.312.2358 or online at www.orlandomoldinspector.com to breathe cleaner air tomorrow.

Mold loves hot moist areas with little or no air movement. You would think the air in your Orlando home or office is moving at all times, but it isn’t. If you have your thermostat set and the fan set to auto, you are allowing the unit to shut off.  There is a way to keep the air moving, and that’s keeping the fan set on the on position.  People are concerned about wasting electricity by running it all day, but the benefits of clean air is worth it. By keeping the air handler fan running, you never allow the air to become stagnant. Keeping it moving is the key to stopping the growth and in return you’ll stop spreading the mold throughout your Orlando home. Here are a few things you may not know about the air we breathe:

-   50% of illness is directly related to or aggravated by the air we breathe
-   Indoor air is up to 100 times more polluted than the outdoor air
-   We breathe 200,000 liters of air daily
-   There are up to 30 million pollutants in one cubic foot of air
-   The average family will spend $500-$1,500 per year on over-the-counter or prescription medicine
-   You can view 15% of the dust and dirt in the air with the naked eye; the rest is microscopic.
The microscopic portion of the particle is what poses a problem from the health standpoint.
-   Our homes are making us sick due to tight construction. Tight construction, although wonderful for
saving energy, is horrendous for Indoor Air Quality. It traps contaminated air in, and outside air out.

One of the biggest misconceptions in the cleaning world, is that bleach will kill mold. This is the farthest from the truth. Bleach is a wonderful cleaning and disinfectant to use around your home, but bleach will NOT kill mold. If you read carefully any of the chemicals that claim to kill mold, the thing they usually claim is the fact that they will remove mold and mildew stains, not the mold or mildew. The thing is that bleach does the same thing it does to everything else, it bleaches it. Bleached mold goes clear, and you are non the wiser. The issue lies in the fact that the mold is still there and getting ready to show it’s face once again. Do you ever wonder why you clean your bathroom with products that have bleach in them, just to clean them again in a few weeks. The reason is the mold or mildew never dies. The only way to truly kill mold is to use a biocide or an anit-microbial. These chemicals are cabable of killing living organisms. Killing the organism is the only way to get rid of it. Now just figure out why it was there, and how to change that pattern. The experts at Ajek Mold Inspection are here to help. Just give us a call to get rid of your mold problems, once and for all.

The choice of words could have been better, but you get the message. Homes all over central Florida, especially in Volusia and Brevard counties are under water. The contractors are out in full force the repair the damages left behind by tropical storm Fay. Now don’t get me wrong, the contractors will, in most cases do a great job at replacing what they see damaged. The problem is that they are not going to fix the mold problem they do not see. It’s not their responsibility, but it is yours. If your buying a home in the Orlando area, and don’t have a home inspection and a mold inspection performed, your just asking for problems. Not only is a home an investment for you, but it’s where your family will live for years to come. It may sound like a scare tactic, but it’s not. Mold is a very real problem in our area in particular, and should be taken seriously. A home and mold inspection is a small price for the piece of mind you’ll be wanting. In most scenarios the home can be cleaned and disinfected as good as new, but addressing the problem is key. There are chronic health issues that go undiagnosed for years, that could have been resolved if a mold inspection would have been performed. The experts at Ajek Mold Inspection will help you see what you can’t, helping you make a more educated decision.

They call Florida the sunshine state, but sometimes it makes you wonder. Under normal circumstances we have high humidity issues, but lately those levels have gone through the roof. With some areas in Brevard county, and Volusia county receiving 20+ inches of rain, mold will be a problem for some time to come. The hidden issue lies in the fact that even though the water damaged areas in the home can be cleaned or replaced, there are some things that get overlooked. If you think that the smell is just a smell and eventually it will go away, you’re wrong. The musty smell may go, but what it leaves behind will haunt you for years to come. If there is mold in your Orlando home, and if your air conditioning was on at any time during the process, the spores found their way in. I’m a big advocate of have good indoor air quality, and it all starts with your a/c system. You can spray all the cover-up scent you like but the mold will still there. The professionals at Ajek Mold Inspection know how to correct what mother nature has left behind. We needed water…. but not that much.
