Mold is a natural presence that is beneficial to the environment, but its presence indoors can be a major issue. It often appears indoors when there is water damage or a moisture issue because the spores need a source of moisture to survive. Mold growth has the ability to spread by dispersing its spores which can result in widespread property damage if it is not quickly contained and removed. The longer mold is left to grow and spread in your home, the more likely it is to trigger adverse health reactions as well.
Coventry Services provides mold remediation services in Baltimore, MD to locate and remove mold growth from homes and businesses.
Our technicians are IICRC certified in mold abatement and we use advanced remediation techniques to ensure that your property is free of mold growth.
Black Mold Growth
The most obvious issue with mold is the physical damage it causes to the affected surfaces. Organic materials found in building materials like drywall, sheetrock, and wood provide mold with a food source which is why it can be so destructive. Mold growth causes discoloration, swelling, and eventually deterioration of the affected surfaces which can lead to structural issues. Extensive mold growth can cause irreversible damage and leave a lingering, musty odor.
The potential health effects are the less obvious issue with mold growth, but still a major cause for concern. Breathing in the mold spores can trigger allergic reactions such as coughing, nasal congestion, skin irritation, headaches, and itchy eyes or throat. If someone is exposed to mold spores for an extended period, they may suffer much worse health effects including asthma or respiratory infections. Addressing mold issues on your property quickly gives you the best chance of avoiding related health effects.
Mold growth can be easier in the basement or attic. Homeowners can see basement mold if their HVAC system fails or if they experience a sump pump failure. When there is a moist environment, it is easy for mold to grow rapidly.

Common Misconceptions Regarding DIY Mold Remediation
Many individuals are scared of a potentially high price that mold remediation can bring and attempt to clean the problem themselves. While in some cases this is a valid option, it is important that you know what you are doing so that you do not make the problem worse by trying to save money. Here are three common misconceptions that we often hear after coming to a job that was made worse by an individual attempting DIY mold removal.
- Do not try to clean any mold with at-home remedies, such as bleach or vinegar. Any improper cleaning techniques can actually worsen the damage and cause it to spread further.
- Do not paint or caulk over any moldy surfaces. This does not treat the problem, but in fact, makes the problem spread faster.
- Do not touch any moldy surfaces directly as it can release its spores and pose severe health risks.
Mold is always a serious problem if it gets in your home or building, even if there is only a small amount. Mold growth has the potential to spread very quickly and gradually cause serious property damage that could lead to expensive repairs.

"I recommend Covenry Cleaning. They are a very professional company. One thing I really like was they gave estimates. I sent them a picture of the chairs and carpet and they came right back with a great price. They were super thorough cleaning the chairs and rug. They pretreated, cleaned, and post cleaned. They put in the time and energy to make sure everything was done really well. They cleaned my carpet and 13 chairs and now they look brand new!"
