MOLD REMEDIATION

If you have experienced a flood, a major or minor leak, or excessive dampness, you should look into mold remediation. Mold is hazardous to your health, so it is important to address or prevent an existing mold problem as soon as possible.

THE FACTS ON MOLD

Non-active mold spores exist nearly everywhere, but they need a nurturing environment in which to flourish. They like moisture, darkness, and organic material.

Unfortunately, our buildings provide both the darkness(behind walls, for instance) and organic material(wood or carpet) by default. When water enters the equation, your kitchen, bathroom, entire business quickly becomes a luxury spot for mold. After a major event like a flood or leaking roof, mold spores can spread through an entire structure within 48-72 hours.

The exact level when mold becomes hazardous to your health depends on the type of mold and the health of the individual. Some people are allergic to mold so lower amounts will cause significant problems for them. Often, people discover that they have a mold problem because of its characteristic musty, earthy smell, a spotty discoloration on exposed surfaces or because of health symptoms of mold allergy and exposure.
