Asbestos and Mold Testing
Protect Your Health with Asbestos and Mold Testing in Saskatoon
Understanding the health risks of asbestos and mold
Asbestos and mold are two common household hazards that can pose serious health risks if left undetected and untreated.
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was commonly used in building materials until the 1970s. When asbestos-containing materials are disturbed or damaged, they release tiny fibers that can be inhaled and cause lung cancer, mesothelioma, and other respiratory diseases.
Mold, on the other hand, is a type of fungi that thrives in moist environments and can cause allergic reactions, respiratory problems, and other health issues.
The importance of asbestos and mold testing
Testing your home for asbestos and mold is an important part of any home inspection and essential to protecting your health.
Asbestos testing involves identifying materials that contain asbestos and measuring the concentration of asbestos fibers in the air. Mold testing involves taking samples of mold spores in the air or on surfaces and identifying the type of mold.
By detecting these hazards early, you can take action to remove or mitigate them before they cause serious health problems. The existence of asbestos or mold could also impact your decision on whether or not to buy a house.
Interior and exterior moisture and mold testing
Stone Script Inspections offers interior and exterior moisture and mold testing to help you identify and address potential problems.
We will examine your property for signs of water damage, leaks, and moisture buildup that can promote mold growth. We use specialized equipment to measure humidity levels, detect hidden leaks, and identify areas of your home that could be vulnerable to mold growth.
Identifying areas of asbestos that may be disturbed
In addition to mold testing, we also offer asbestos testing to identify areas of your home that may contain asbestos.
We will examine your property for common asbestos-containing materials such as insulation, and flooring.
If we identify areas of concern, we will recommend whether we feel testing is necessary. Asbestos is only dangerous once airborne, so if there are no signs of degrading material, you might choose to decline the test.
