Mold testing should be done if you smell mold in your home. Mold grows in the presence of water, so if you have a plumbing leak, it's a good idea to invest in mold testing. Mold can cause symptoms such as headaches, nausea, and coughing. If you have these symptoms and doctors are unable to locate a cause, it's recommended that you have your home tested for mold.

In most cases, mold testing is unnecessary. If there is visible mold, it needs to be treated. Once mold is treated, you can have testing done to see if it is has been controlled.

You should get a mold test when you smell mold or have recently had leakage or other water problems. You also want to make sure you have mold testing performed when you're looking to buy a house.
