Mold Remediation and Restoration

Mold occurs naturally in the environment. It's a bacteria that plays a major role in the balancing of the ecosystem. Mold is found almost everywhere (indoors and outdoors) in the form of microscopic spores invisible to the naked eye. That being said, indoor mold beyond a certain level is not acceptable since it can lead to mold damage. This is why homeowners need to call mold remediation experts as soon as they spot mold growth.

Understanding Mold

Microscopic mold spores exist almost everywhere, outdoors and indoors, making it impossible to remove all mold from a home or business. Some restoration businesses advertise “mold removal” and even guarantee to remove all mold, which is a fallacy. Consider the following mold facts:

• Mold is present almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors.
• Mold spores are microscopic and float along in the air and may enter your home through windows, doors, or AC/heating systems or even hitch a ride indoors on your clothing or a pet.
• Mold spores thrive on moisture. Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water. These colonies may produce allergens and irritants.
• Before mold remediation can begin, any sources of water or moisture must be addressed. Otherwise, the mold may return.
• Mold often produces a strong, musty odor and can lead you to possible mold problem areas.
• Even higher-than-normal indoor humidity can support mold growth. Keep indoor humidity below 45 percent.
