Understanding Mold
- Mold reproduces by means of spores. Spores are invisible, float through the air, and can enter your home or office through windows, doors, air conditioning/heating systems, and pets.
- When spores land on a moist area, mold begins to grow. In order for mold to be completely removed, all water must be removed first. If the water is not extracted, the mold will return.
- Mold can grow under floors and within walls without ever revealing itself. However, mold can be identified by a strong, musty odor. If you notice a strange musty odor, contact a professional to assess the problem.
- Do not try to eliminate the mold yourself. Bleach and other cleaning remedies may seem helpful, but can actually cause more problems. Only a professional can measure the extent of damage and fully remediate the mold at hand.
Risk of Mold
- Black mold can grow anywhere and will destroy whatever it grows on, whether it be the structural foundation, roof, heating and cooling systems, gutters, drywall, etc.
- Black mold can cause health issues such as headaches, breathing difficulties, skin irritation, allergic reactions, and aggravated asthma symptoms.

Contrary to popular belief, mold doesn’t just occur from flood and blatant water damage. In fact, any business or home with the right combination of heat and humidity can become a haven for mold spores to grow, multiply and overtake your living quarters.
Some common causes include:
- Leaky plumbing or faucets
- Leaky roofs or shingles
- Poorly vented bathrooms and kitchen areas
- Poorly ventilated or humidity controlled basements & attics
Because mold can be so hazardous to your health, we recommend calling us at the first indication or sign of trouble. Our professionally trained staff can provide an accurate and honest assessment of your property, and if mold is in fact found, we can offer a range of remediation, cleanup and removal service plans for any budget.
Understanding Mold
Believe it or not, mold spores exist pretty much everywhere. In the air you breathe, both outdoors and indoors. This makes removing mold completely a fool’s errand. In fact, unless you are a hospital with special ventilation and medical grade purification systems, mold spores are just something you have to live with.
However, all is not lost. Unless you are hyper sensitive, have allergies or breathing conditions, mold spores are really only ever a problem when they take hold and multiply. This is why ventilation and dehumidifiers are a big part of mold prevention.
