What is Air Quality Testing?

mold testing Toronto Air Quality Testing or Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) is a test that checks the quality of air in a certain environment. It has become very popular in residential properties for landlord/tenants as well as when selling or buying a property. Commercial and industrial buildings will conduct an air quality test to ensure that employees are working within a safe environment.

Air Testing is used to identify any contaminates within the air such as carbon dioxide, toxic vapours, dust, fungi and ozone. The most common contaminate that is tested is for mold. The reason air testing is utilized and beneficial is because it distinguishes the type of mold particles and their individual spore levels, which is crucial. When air quality tests detect infesting mold, mold remediation services in Toronto should be called in for safe mold removal.

Safe Mold Levels

As previously mentioned, mold is all around us - the levels of mold is what makes it dangerous to your health. Not all levels of detected mold require mold removal in Toronto. If the mold levels in your living or working environment are higher than the mold levels outsides, your health and safety is at risk and mold remediation specialists in Toronto should be brought in. Depending on your location, your health symptoms can vary. For instance, if you live by a forest, woods, or lake there will be more mold spores given the natural environment. To find out if mold spore levels around your property are appropriate, contact Canada's Restoration Services for mold testing and mold removal in Toronto.

How is Air Testing Conducted in Toronto?

When an air test is being performed, there are a minimum of two samples that must be taken. One sample is taken from the area of concern and one sample is taken from outside or in the "controlled environment". If there are multiple areas of concern, than multiple samples must be captured. Once samples are taken, they will be shipped off to a lab where experts will analyze the samples. The results will be provided and a report will follow that breaks down the various types of mold discovered, along with the different mold spore levels. If the levels of spores are higher in the area of concern, than the levels of spores on the outside or "controlled environment", then you are facing a mold issue. The report will specify if the mold spore levels are:

elevated
moderated
not elevated

Who Can Conduct Air Quality Testing?

Air Testing must be done by a certified environmentalist company. This should be a company that does not perform mold remediation and conducts testing only. There is a conflict of interest if a company where to conduct lab testing and results and perform work, thereby keeping these two separate is crucial to obtaining effective. This is considered to be "third party mold testing in Toronto".

Mold Swab & Mold Testing Toronto

Mold Testing or a Mold Swab is one of the ways of determining what type of mold is present. This typically needs to be done when there is visible mold. This type of testing does not let you know the elevations of mold spores and if it is present in the air. With Canada's regulations, you do not need to know what type of mold is present - industry standards recommend that the area should be cleaned & mold should be removed. Some molds are safe for you to remove yourself but we advise homeowners to contact a professional mold remediation company before doing so.

Dangerous Molds in Toronto

There are many types of molds - some are toxic and some are not. The ones that are toxic are called mycotoxins and they can produce possible health issues. The most common molds that are found within your home are: penicllium, aspergillus, cladosporium, and alternaria. The most dangerous mold to have in your property is stachybotrys or black mold. It should be noted that mold will change black in colour eventually. To see if it is stachybotrys, it must be tested. Regardless what mold is present, an inspection must be completed if you suspect or find mold.

Mold Outbreaks in Toronto

Frequently Asked Questions

What Are The Costs of Mold Removal?

When outbreaks strike, most property owners have already incurred the expense of water damage in Toronto, which can cause concerns about mold removal costs. Mold removal can range in price depending on various factors. Still, when it comes to remediation, it’s always best to spend on a trusted restoration company in Toronto rather than a mold removal spray or alternative DIY mold removal method. At Canada’s Restoration Services, we offer free visible mold inspections in the Greater Toronto Area to help streamline mold detection and removal. These visible inspections will reduce your overall mold removal costs, making mold remediation in Toronto more affordable.

Why Should I Hire a Professional Versus a Handyman?

Whether you have mold, a water damage or you have found asbestos in your property, hiring the right professional is very important. The right professional will be able to conduct the remediation efficiently, cost effective and ensure that everyone in the property is safe. Hiring a mold professional is able to identify the cause of the mold growth, therefore eliminating the chances of mold growth.

Mold remediation and mold removal in Toronto can be a costly process and deter property owners from hiring the right professionals for the task. Hiring a general handyman can be a costly mistake. Without the proper knowledge and the proper remediation protocols, handyman’s can be putting themselves as well as the people in the building at harm.

When hiring the right company it is important to look for previous references and all the right certifications. It is also important that the company holds the proper liability and insurances. These are the first major factors that a property owner must look for.

What's The Difference Between A Home Inspector And A Mold Inspector?

When it comes to inspecting your home, you may be wondering what the difference is between a home inspector and a mold inspector. Home inspectors go into many homes and look at the condition of the home overall, while mold inspectors specifically look for any signs of mold. If you're concerned about whether you may have a mold issue, it's important to get a mold inspection to get a closer look.

How Do I Know It's Mold?

If you recently had water damage on your property, or if you experience allergy-like symptoms when you’re at home but not when you leave the house, there’s a chance that you may be dealing with a mold outbreak. As a fungus, mold releases toxic spores into the air. When inhaled, you can experience anything from wheezing to coughing, migraines and even vertigo. Professional mold removal services are the best approach to confirm your suspicions. And while do-it-yourself mold removal in Toronto is an option, it isn’t as effective as having Canada’s Restoration Services remove the contaminant, as our services guarantee the full removal of the fungi.

In most cases mold growth is obvious and can be confirmed with a visible inspection. There are many different types of mold and it can come in a variety of different colours (black, brown, green, white, etc). If left untreated, mold will continue to grow and spread and may become a much more dangerous issue; therefore a certified mold remediation company should be contacted to determine the severity and the best way to remediate. Another way to identify whether it is mold or not, is to have the area tested for mold. An environmentalist can come in and take a swab or perform and air quality test to determine what type of mold and how elevated the mold spores are.

How Is Air Testing Performed?

There are three types of mold testing that are used in Toronto and elsewhere in Canada around the time of a mold inspection. Air quality testing is used to assess, as the name suggests, the indoor air quality of public, commercial, or residential buildings. When a mold inspection finds visible mold, it’s clear that mold removal in Toronto will be required. But air quality testing will give more insight into how effective remediation results are after removal.

Since mold spores exist naturally outdoors, they will inevitably travel through the air of our indoor spaces. Air quality testing will tell mold removal technicians at Canada’s Restoration Services whether there is a high concentration of mold in the air, indicating whether another mold outbreak will occur or is still hiding somewhere within the property.
