Third Planet Environmental LLC is a consulting company based out of Oregon that provides inspection, survey, and testing of hazardous materials in residential and commercial properties.
INTERIOR MOLD
The Northwest climate lends itself to a wide variety and an abundance of mold spores. We provide a survey and inspection of the location of concern. Mold can be found not only on visible surface areas, but also in hidden parts of your building due to moisture and high humidity. After inspection, a report will provide you with the findings and consultation on further steps that can be taken. Third Planet Environmental is not an abatement company and has no conflict of interest in our findings.
COMMON MOLD ISSUES
The most common indoor molds are Aspergillus, Cladosporium, and Penicillium. Mold begins to take hold and spread from high moisture levels. Mold prone environments are commonly caused by water leaks in pipes, roofing, foundation issues and poor rain drainage as well as a lack of ventilation. Not only can mold have negative health effects, and a reduced quality of life, mold breaks down the materials it lives upon and will eventually need to be replaced.
HEALTH HAZARDS
The most common molds found indoors are Aspergillus, Cladosporium, and Penicillium, and although generally aren’t life threatening they can cause many health issues. Being in contact with and inhaling black mold can lead to chronic respiratory issues, eye irritation, congestion, coughing, runny nose, sore throat, headaches, and even skin rashes. Eliminating mold from your residence can greatly improve quality of life and reduce further damage to your building.
