What is mold?

Mold is an airborne fungus that grows in damp places indoors. Most commonly mold can appear on window sills, under carpets, in kitchens, bathrooms and laundry areas. Mold also grows in various colors and textures, which can make it difficult to detect. If left untreated, mold and mildew can be a major health risk.

How dangerous is it to human health?

With the exception of fresh blue cheese –which is made with cultures of the mold Penicillium, very beneficial to human health–, the larger the mold-affected surface in any household or workspace, the more serious the health risks to the humans and their pets coming in close contact with that surface. Commonly found health problems caused by mold in the house are allergic reactions, asthma and other respiratory problems in children under 5 and elderly over 50, the most vulnerable age segments. Also, mold can cause serious damage to elements in the building, many of them essential to the structure such as wood beams and studs, but also wood or carpet floors, drywall, drop ceiling tiles not just in stagnant-water-abundant rooms —bathrooms, kitchens, and basements—, but anywhere inside a home.

Why you should hire a professional for Mold Removal and Remediation?

While there are many DIY-mould remediation suggestions on the internet, they may often create the impression that mold remediation is too easy a task to hire a professional. But, depending on the severity of the damage, doing a proper mold remediation job can actually be a time-consuming and often complicated process. Without proper diagnosis, removal and remediation, the mold may grow back and create new problems.

Most people try to scrub mold or mildew. But scrubbing or rubbing mold can release toxic spores into the air. Mishandling mold can increase health risks and even cause spores to grow.

Why are mold inspections needed often?

Mold grows pretty much everywhere. It is a normal component of our existence. But it can become very problematic when mold levels inside our living or working environment get significantly higher than outside.  As the mold-affected surface gets bigger, the indoor air quality worsens, giving a clear signal that a mold inspection is necessary, preferably on a regular basis, especially in poorly ventilated spaces.
