The Health Department does not test homes for mold. Mold reproduces by means of tiny spores, which are commonly present in both indoor and outdoor air. Whether or not these spores succeed in finding a place to grow depends on the moisture level and other factors. The EPA suggests a number of simple ways to prevent or reduce the growth of mold in your home. Black mold has received much recent publicity. See similar questions...

The answer depends upon what is meant by “completely eliminate mold.” To keep a building completely free of mold spores requires very efficient air filtration and is only accomplished in special situations such as hospital operating rooms and manufacturing “clean rooms.” Remember, mold spores are in the outside air virtually all the time and some of them will get inside buildings. However, it is possible to keep mold from growing inside a building. See similar questions...

While our mold killing solution will kill the mold that is exposed, it cannot go behind walls (or wallpaper), under carpeting or into mattresses, to kill hidden mold. Since we do not do any mold testing, we cannot know if you have any hidden mold or where it might be. If you suspect there is mold inside your walls or other inaccessible area, we recommend you use a mold inspector or a "mold sniffing dog" to help you determine the presence and location of any hidden mold.

There are hundreds of thousands of types of molds. All are fungi, which means they are many-celled organisms that reproduce by sending tiny seeds called spores into the air. Molds need four things to grow: food, air, the right temperature and water. Although fungi grow naturally "outdoors", molds are very common in buildings and homes and will grow anywhere indoors where there is sufficient moisture. See similar questions...

Though there is no way to completely eliminate dust, you can control the dust with adequate filtering of the air through your HVAC filter. Choosing the right filter medium like our pleated electrostatic filter media enables maximum filtration without taxing your HVAC system. Our Merv12 air conditioner furnace filters remove up to 97.

A fungus problem usually starts with an injury or harsh chemicals under the nail plate at the free edge, creating a pocket in which the fungus can develop. It grows through the nail, turning black/green when reaching the top. Filing will not kill it, This type of problem must be looked at by a doctor. Yeast is perhaps the most common. The free edge pulls away from the plate, and if not checked can continue to the matrix area. Mold can happen anywhere moisture collects. See similar questions...
