We provide ERMI testing to detect mold in your home.
Mold has all kinds of consequences, from foul odors to structural damage, but it’s often the health issues associated with mold that alert homeowners to its presence. For example, mold can result in respiratory issues, coughing, sneezing, wheezing, runny nose, watery eyes, fatigue, and headaches, just to name a few symptoms. If you or someone in your household has been experiencing these symptoms, it can be a good idea to test for mold in your Lake Norman, North Carolina home.
At Kulumo Home Inspection Services Lake Norman, we provide ERMI testing. ERMI stands for Environmental Relative Moldiness Index, which is a research tool developed by EPA scientists for the purpose of estimating the amount of mold and the types of mold present in a home. It’s a DNA-based testing that is done by collecting and analyzing dust, as opposed to air sampling that tests for mold spores in the air.
ERMI testing is often recommended for homes with a previous history of mold or with residents who have illnesses that can be exacerbated by the presence of mold. The test results can offer the necessary information needed to understand whether any health risks are present due to mold in your home. With that information, you can then take the appropriate action.
