MOLD TESTING:
Testing Options to Find IF and WHERE there is a mold problem
star star star star star

An effective DIY mold detection kit that includes everything you need to test for elevated levels of mold in your indoor air or on belongings. It takes minutes to test, and you can use the insert to read your results in just 5 days. You can also choose to send these in for analysis.
This test is designed to look for the presence and relative abundance of 15 of the most toxigenic molds and for 16 of the most poisonous mycotoxins. This test provides a diagnostic of not only which molds you are being exposed to, reported in fungal elements/ml instead of spores/ml, but also measures the degree to which you are being exposed.
Indoor Environmental Professional (IEP)
Assessors perform onsite assessments of properties, suggest and interpret tests, can oversee remediation efforts, and provide real world advice to maintain the “health” of your home. Always hire a licensed professional. Look for ACAC candidates with CIEC and CMC certifications. The inspector and remediation company should not be one in the same. That is a conflict of interest.

Electrostatic technology provides a positive charge to the droplets as they spray from the machine. As a result, the droplets space more evenly on targeted surface areas for uniform coverage and stronger adhesion. Charged droplets wrap around the entire target surface which also eliminates puddling. This bundle includes two 16-ounce bottles of EC3 Mold Solution Concentrate, that makes 2 gallons of fogging solution when diluted per bottle directions.
