Does Your Home Have A Mold Problem

5/2/2017 (Permalink)

Microscopic mold spores naturally occur almost everywhere, both outdoors and indoors. This makes it impossible to remove all mold from a residence or business. Therefore, mold remediation reduces the mold spore count back to it's natural or baseline level. Some restoration businesses advertise "Mold Removal" and even guarantee to remove all mold, which is a fallacy.

Considering the facts on Mold:

1. Mold is present almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors.


2. Mold spores are microscopic and float along in the air and may enter your home through windows, doors, or AC/Heating Systems or even hitch a ride indoors on your clothing or pet.


3. Mold spores thrive on moisture, Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water. These colonies may produce allergens and irritants.


4. Before Mold remediation can begin, any sources of water or moisture mus be addressed. Otherwise, the mold may return.


5. Mold often produces a strong, musty odor and can lead you to possible mold problem areas.


6. Even higher than normal indoor humidity can support mold growth. Keep indoor humidity below 45 percent.
