What is mold?

Molds produce tiny spores to reproduce. Mold spores waft through the indoor and outdoor air continually. When mold spores land on a damp spot indoors, they may begin growing and digesting whatever they are growing on in order to survive. There are molds that can grow on wood, paper, carpet, and foods. When excessive moisture or water accumulates indoors, mold growth will often occur, particularly if the moisture problem remains undiscovered or un-addressed. There is no practical way to eliminate all mold and mold spores in the indoor environment; the way to control indoor mold growth is to control moisture.

Mold Remediation

Because moisture is an essential part of mold growth, it is vital to cleanup the mold and get rid of excess water or moisture. Removal of mold, mildew, fungi and other potential toxins requires trained, experienced personnel and many times the services of industrial hygienist (IH) in order to determine the magnitude of the indoor air problem.
