Lafser & Associates has the capability to provide mold inspections and testing for commercial and

Mold is a microscopic fungus that is naturally occurring in air and on surfaces both indoors and outdoors.
Mold is generally a problem when it grows indoors, mainly due to the health problems associated with
substances that molds produce including allergens, irritants, and potentially toxic substances known as
mycotoxins. Molds are known to worsen existing respiratory health conditions, such as asthma.
Mold grows slowly, however problems often occur when the mold is undetected and is allowed to reproduce
and grow by producing mold spores (seeds) in hidden or undetected or unoccupied areas of houses and
buildings such as behind drywall, in attics and basements, etc. Molds can grow when provided a food source
(such as wood, drywall, paper, or other decaying organic material), moderate temperatures as typically found
indoors, and water or excess humidity.
Lafser & Associates provides the following consulting services for mold issues: mold inspections, mold
sampling and testing, mold remediation and removal, and clearance testing following cleanup.
