MOLD INSPECTION AND TESTING
CERTIFICATIONS

2) When using A Accredited Mold Inspection Service you will be hiring a mold testing service that is properly certified.

The CIEC Certification is without any doubt one of the nations highest mold and indoor air quality related certifications. Most mold certifications require nothing more than two days of simple classes in a hotel conference room and a simple test in that same room. You can verify our certification by clicking here.

The CIEC certification requires 8 years of experience, or 8 years of education, or a combination of relevant experience and secondary science education that adds up to a total of eight years. There is quite obviously a big difference between a certification that was two days in the making and one that was 8 years in the making.

In addition to strict prerequisites, a rigorous exam taken at a proctored testing center is required. Your local mold inspector Daryl Watters received a 85 on his CIE exam in 2004 and a 96.6 on his even harder CIEC exam in 2015.

MOLD AND HEALTH

Our Miami mold inspectors are often asked questions about mold and health, especially as it relates to toxic black mold. Recently during a mold inspection in Aventura, a client asked our inspector “what types of health problems can mold cause?” That question prompted me to include the below information for our clients benefit.

The most common health problems associated with mold are most by far common mold allergy type problems.
To learn more about mold and allergy click here. Mold allergy symptoms such as coughing, sneezing, and watery eyes, can be very problematic. However, once the mold is gone the symptoms go away if they were caused by the mold. Unfortunately, when people have allergic reactions to mold they may be convinced by reading scary information online that they are suffering from more severe and more permanent toxic reactions to mold. Allergy to mold is not a toxic reaction. Once the mold had been found via a proper mold inspection and removed via mold remediation, your health should improve.

MOLD INFECTIONS

Certain molds are known for causing infectious tissue diseases by invading and infecting human and animal tissues and mucous membranes. Mold-related sinus infections appear to be common in many persons living in mold contaminated homes. Eyes, ears, nose, throat, lungs, heart, brain and skin systems have documented infections due to molds. Molds that have the potential to cause these opportunistic infections are found in homes everyday by our certified Florida mold inspector. However, infections in human tissues typically only occur in persons with a compromised immune system.

MOLD TOXICITY

Many molds also have been shown to produce very scary toxic substances known as mycotoxins. Toxic molds are often recovered while we are conducting Aventura mold testing services for clients. These molds contain mycotoxins, these mycotoxins are located primarily in the mold spores. These mycotoxins are produced by molds to help them compete with and kill other molds and microbes. It’s a type of biological warfare between molds and their competitors. “Mycotoxins are believed to result in headaches, sore throats, hair loss, flu symptoms, diarrhea, fatigue, dermatitis, general malaise (tiredness) and psychological depression.” (Croft et al, 1986, Jarvis, 1995). “Other reported responses to mycotoxin exposure include skin rashes, lesions of the skin and gastrointestinal tract, and interference with blood cell formation.” (Sorenson 1993).
Many of the above effects of toxic mold are the result of lab animal and cell culture studies on toxic black mold, also known as Stachybotrys, and human and animal exposure to Stachybotrys mold-infested hay, or the consumption of mold infested foods. It may or may not be likely that toxic molds can cause the above detrimental effects when humans breathe in mold spores in the home. Our certified Florida mold inspector finds potentially toxigenic mold spores in many moldy homes.
To gather scientifically reliable proof on the effects of breathing toxic mold spores in the home is very difficult.

MUCOUS MEMBRANE AND TRIGEMINAL NERVE IRRITATION

After breaking down and absorbing food materials such as moist dust, water-damaged drywall paper, and wood, molds then produce waste products. These waste products are made up of volatile organic compounds (MVOC’s), such as alcohol aldehydes and acidic molecules. Exposure to volatile organic compounds may result in irritation to the eyes and the respiratory system. Volatile organic compounds can also cause reactions from the trigeminal nerve. This nerve responds to mold VOC and moldy pungent odors by initiating avoidance reactions, such as breath holding and discomfort. Odd sensations may also be noted, including itching, burning, and skin crawling. Changes in sensation, swelling of mucous membranes, constriction of respiratory smooth muscle, or dilation of surface blood vessels may be a part of fight-or-flight reactions in response to trigeminal nerve stimulation. Decreased attention, disorientation, diminished reflex time, dizziness and other effects can also result from such exposures (Otto et al., 1989).

The above might sound technical but a certified mold inspector would put in in much simpler terms and tell you that mold produces musty odors or mold odors. It is these odors that sometimes can cause health issues even if the spores are still trapped in your wall.

CONCLUSION

In conclusion, mold very often cause health complaints. Sometimes it can sauce very dangerous health problems. However, in most cases mold related health problems typically consists of allergy type problems. If unwarranted fear takes over, people become vulnerable to be taken advantage of by dishonest mold inspectors and dishonest mold remediators. It is wise to have your property tested and inspected by a non-biased licensed mold inspector to determine if concern is warranted and if and what corrective measures are needed. If you reside in Aventura and need a mold inspection and mold testing from a non-boas mold inspector give us a call.
