Mold Remediation Professionals Nationwide
What is Mold?
Mold is the non-scientific term used to refer to an undesirable growth of fungus. It can occur on a variety of surfaces, from food to gypsum wallpaper (drywall) or books. You can find tons of mold species both indoors and outdoors. Mold spreads by means of spores, which can be dispersed by the air and then survive on essentially anything. These spores can lay dormant for a while during dry conditions but start actively growing when moisture is present.
Where is Mold?
This may come as a surprise but mold spores are pretty much everywhere. There are hundreds of different kinds of mold out there and they can grow essentially wherever excessive moisture is present. Examples include carpets, attics, drywalls, ceiling tiles, and even fabrics like your clothes. Actively-growing mold can damage whatever surface it’s on, destroying the material’s structural integrity. This is why it is imperative that any occurrences of mold found in a building is remediated sooner rather than later.
Getting Rid of It
If you ever spot visible mold in your building, you could either try to take care of it yourself if the contamination is minimal or contact a mold professional for more serious instances. Don’t worry about getting any pre-testing as that is typically a waste of money. Knowing that mold is present in your immediate surroundings is all the information you need since mold remediation is a pretty similar process no matter the type of strain. Testing may or may not be useful for those who may have contracted an associated illness through mold exposure but typically, it is not worth the investment. Besides, testing can be very expensive and quite difficult to interpret since there aren’t any nationwide standards on mold testing, normal concentrations, reporting formats, or else.
