Orlando Mold Inspection Education Center

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.

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.

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.
