24/7 Emergency Service
Mold plays an important function in the outdoor environment by decaying and destroying dead organic matter. When it travels indoors and develops in greater numbers it can damage your home and your family’s health.
Mold comes in a variety of colors, white, brown, orange, green, blue, and black. Mold can look furry, powdery, or slimy. Black mold has gotten the most press and is considered the most dangerous type of mold. That may or may not be true, due to individual sensitivities.
When mold is discovered in a home quick action to eliminate it should be taken. Mold can grow at an extremely fast pace and a mold colony can develop in as little as 48 hours. The longer it is allowed to remain, the more damage it will do and the more it may cost to have it removed.
Anywhere there is lots of rain, humidity, or exposure to ocean water is an excellent breeding ground for mold. Mold loves to attack porous materials that have damp or wet surfaces. Once mold gets into the air you breathe, mold spores can be inhaled and result in asthma, allergic reactions, respiratory infections and skin rashes.
The truth is if you have a mold problem you also have a moisture problem. Before you should attempt to get rid of any mold, remediation experts will tell you that you need to find its source of moisture and eliminate it. Otherwise the mold will quickly return.
Even though you can read about removing small amounts of mold yourself, you should seek out a mold remediation professional. The professional will know how to contain the mold to keep it from spreading, remove it safely, and restore the affected areas to their pre-loss condition.
