Mold Remediation and Repairs

Mold occurs in nature to break down dead leaves and other vegetation. Spores from mold are all around us, and they're not all outdoors. Mold will grow on virtually any substance when moisture is present and, unchecked; it can lead to serious property damage. The longer mold remains untreated, the further it is likely to spread and the greater the possibility of extensive mold damage.

Exposure to mold can create health problems. Although only some molds are toxic, all molds release spores which can cause allergic reactions, asthma, and other respiratory issues. The effects are especially detrimental to children, older people and those with existing respiratory problems.

To Avoid Mold

• Indoor mold growth is controlled by controlling moisture so address moisture sources such as water leaks promptly
• Vent bathrooms, dryers, and other moisture-generating sources to the outside and use air conditioners and dehumidifiers as necessary to reduce indoor humidity
• Clean and dry damp or wet areas and furnishings within 24-48 hours to prevent mold growth. Fast drying is essential
• Insulate cold surfaces such as windows and cold water pipes to reduce condensation
• Avoid installation of carpeting in areas with moisture problems such as damp concrete floors

Mold can sometimes get the best of us and become well established before it is even discovered. And mold can grow in places we seldom or never see.
