Between home and work, you probably spend quite a bit of time inside each day. This is why it’s important to ensure the air you’re breathing is as clean as possible. Many people don’t realize their indoor air can be just as polluted, if not more so, than the air outside. Fortunately, air quality and mold testing can reveal when the contamination is at dangerously high levels. Since 1990, Rainbow Environmental Services has helped Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky residents expose their issues with toxic air and mold growth and find an effective solution.

Here, the company explains why testing your building this fall is important as you get ready to shut up the doors and windows for the upcoming winter season:

• Prevent Health Problems: One of the most important reasons to inspect for mold and test the overall quality of your air is to prevent health problems. Exposure to black mold, asbestos, carbon monoxide, and radon can trigger a variety of symptoms and lead to serious health complications. 
• Check For Water Damage: Mold testing is also helpful in determining whether your property has any water damage. Where there is one, the other is usually not too far away. Whether you’ve recently had a flood or suspect your home might have a leak somewhere, a mold inspection will allow you to identify potential moisture issues.
• Avoid Costly Mold Remediation: When mold develops, it will eventually spread throughout a structure if it’s not caught in time. If this happens, it may eat away at the drywall, cause discoloration, and leave behind bad odors. This can end up requiring extensive mold removal services and costly repairs to restore whatever has been damaged.

Having indoor air quality and mold testing done will give you peace of mind about the safety of your living and work environments. Contact Rainbow Environmental Services at (513) 624-6470, or check out their website to learn more about the company and the different services they offer.
