Toxic Mold Remediation Services
Molds produce tiny spores to reproduce. Mold spores waft through the indoor and outdoor air continually. When mold spores land on a damp spot indoors, they may begin growing and digesting whatever they are growing on in order to survive. There are molds that can grow on wood, paper, carpet, and foods. When excessive moisture or water accumulates indoors, mold growth will often occur, particularly if the moisture problem remains undiscovered or un-addressed. There is no practical way to eliminate all mold and mold spores in the indoor environment; the way to control indoor mold growth is to control moisture.
Should I Be Concerned About Mold In My Building Or Home?
Yes, if the contamination is extensive.When airborne mold spores are present in large numbers, they can cause allergic reactions, asthma episodes, infections, and other respiratory problems for people.Exposure to high spore levels can cause the development of an allergy to the mold. Mold can also cause structural damage to your home.Similarly, when wood goes through a period of wetting, then drying, it can eventually warp and cause walls to crack or become structurally weak.
What do I do if I detect Mold?
Hire a professional to identify and confirm there is a mold problem. Through testing and analysis, this professional should provide the best possible, cost effective recommendations and solutions for remediation that will not cause further panic, chemical pollution or additional mold growth.
