A customer called with concerns that mold in the garage has migrated into the home and is giving her 3 ½ year old son asthma-like symptoms. The garage mold was probably caused by a water leak, and may have been exasperated when the landlord tried to wash the mold away, adding more moisture to the affected area. The family moved into the home 2 months ago, and the son has been sick for over a month. Where mold is an airborne organism, the most common health complications from mold exposure are related to respiratory issues such as asthma and allergies. The mother has requested that PowerBees perform an air test and rush the results, so she can determine if mold could be the cause of her son’s condition.

A customer called PowerBees and reported severe mold in her tenant’s trailer. A burst water heater had flooded the tenant’s closet, and both white mold and black mold had appeared in her closet and bedroom. A very strong odor had forced the tenant to move from the bedroom to the sofa of her trailer, and she had been experiencing severe asthma-like symptoms. The landlord wanted emergency mold testing done to determine if the mold in the trailer was hazardous. She needed to know if mold remediation would be necessary for her tenant’s health. Within 24 hours, a certified mold investigator had visited the site and performed a mold test using both air sample and tape lift methods.

A customer called with concerns about Black Mold in her bedroom and potential basement mold. Water leaks from the chimney into her bedroom had been occurring for years, and her daughter was complaining of mold allergies when she came to visit. The customer requested that PowerBees take air samples and perform a mold test to determine whether or not mold could be posing a health hazard to her family. PowerBees visited the property and a Certified Mold Inspector performed the mold test to determine if mold remediation would be necessary.
