F.A.Q.
Frequently asked quesions
What is mold?
Mold is a natural byproduct of the environment. It is a type of fungal growth that forms and reproduces on wet materials. It is vital in the decomposition of organic matter. Mold reproduces through spores, which are essentially tiny seeds too small to see. That being said, mold growth indoors within homes should be avoided, as it could pose dangerous health hazards.
How does mold grow?
Mold is widespread in our environment and oftentimes, is impossible to spot or detect with the unaided human eye. Mold can grow on most surfaces in the presence of moisture. Generally, the amount of mold found indoors remains at levels that do not cause any effects in healthy people. It takes certain conditions for mold to thrive, and when given those conditions, spores can form fungal colonies.
What to look out for?
It is important to note the optimal conditions for mold to form and watch for these conditions in your home. Building materials, especially those found in home construction, are susceptible to mold growth.
Significant mold growth requires a food source, moisture and warmth. Air currents are also a significant factor that affects indoor spaces differently depending on the season. Materials like wood fabric and cardboard provide food for the mold to grow on. Removing any of these contributing factors from your home will significantly inhibit the growth mold.
Look out for signs of water damages that you can find on the surfaces of your home, generally the walls or ceilings. Mold growth can also lead to a detectable smell, an indicator that there may be hidden mold somewhere.
Why is mold removal important?
The development and growth of mold is a natural part of the environmental process of breaking down and recycling dead organic matter. So, one may wonder why this could be a such a problem. While a natural process, building materials are common surfaces for mold to grow on. Mold in indoor spaces can lead to a number of problems. Not only can your property be irreversibly damaged, certain types of mold, and level of mold present can pose serious health risks.
Mold is widespread, and there is sure to be some level of mold growth essentially everywhere. Under normal conditions, the levels of mold present within a home should not affect healthy people. Though different people have different levels of sensitivity to mold, some may be allergic. In higher concentrations, they can cause allergic reactions, and respiratory problems in healthy people.
There exist many different types of mold, certain types of mold are capable of producing toxic chemicals that pose serious healthy risks. This is referred to as “Toxic mold”. Exposure to high levels of these toxins, especially over a prolonged period of time can lead to neurological damage.
If you experience symptoms such as congestion, runny nose, eye irritation, or other respiratory problems seemingly with no cause, you should call a professional and inspect your home for mold.
what are the Frequent causes of the mold growth?
- Leaky ceilings/roofs : Water that leaks in from the outside contributes to moisture in the environment for mold to thrive on
- Plumbing problems: Problems with indoor water carrying pipes, like leaky or burst pipes contribute to mold growth.
- Flooding: In areas where flooding could be a problem, precautions must be taken against the major buildup of water.
- Airflow problems: Indoor spaces that are both too airtight, or allow for too much airflow could both lead to mold problems depending on the season. Insulating humid air within a home, as well as allowing warm air to flow through and condense in different areas could both lead to mold.
