Moisture & Mold

Moisture & Mold

Mold and mildew are types of fungi that rapidly reach critical mass wherever moisture is present indoors. This can result from any number of situations such as flooding, water accumulation after a fire, a broken pipe, or even a malfunctioning HVAC system – all of which can lead to trouble. Any high degree of moisture, combined with temperature and nutrients, creates the perfect environment for the fungal components of mold and mildew to thrive. It is important to remove the source of the moisture to prevent the spread of mold contamination as soon as possible.

Moisture often enters buildings from small gaps you can’t see, and can even enter your home or business from basements and crawlspaces. Basement mold may continue to grow from the dampness left after interior flooding, even though you think you’ve dried things out.

Some people try to do their own mold cleanup with various cleaners but the mold soon reappears. Homeowners also attempt to dry out a basement with a shopvac after a flood, but don’t realize that moisture remains behind walls and in other areas they can’t see. Meanwhile, the mold keeps growing and multiplying over time.

Medical experts agree that in as few as 48 hours after any water accumulation, mold can begin to form. For some people, exposure to mold can result in allergic or respiratory symptoms, skin rashes, gastrointestinal problems or systemic disease. With any stagnant water indoors, particularly during the humid spring and summer months, there is always the potential for dangerous airborne bacteria to develop.

Toxic mold, such as black mold, should only be removed by technicians specifically trained and certified in mold removal. Awareness and quick action are vital to avoiding this potentially serious problem.
