It is very possible that at some point you may find something inside your home you suspect is mold.  The question is what do you do next?  Many people assume just because it may be black and mold that it is “black mold” or what is formally called Stachybotrys.   

In such an instance where you fear you may in fact have a microbial growth issue, you could in fact need an air quality test performed.  The main thing to keep in mind is that mold is present everywhere indoors as well as outdoors.  Because of this it is important that you keep those levels in check; the spore count inside your home should be less than what is found outside your home.

Once the test is performed in your home pay special attention to the levels and see if there are any areas inside your home that are higher than what was found outside.  If this is the case then we suggest calling a certified remediation company like SERVPRO of Oxford/Batesville/Clarksdale to devise a plan of action.  Our team can work with you to come up with strategy to get the levels in your home back down to a safe count.
