Mold Removal and Remediation
Mold removal and remediation are critical at J & B Cleaning.
Mold can be both toxigenic and pathogenic, depending on the species. As a result, numerous health risks can result from prolonged contact with mold. In addition, mold spores are airborne. This means you don’t even have to touch mold to physically suffer the effects of mold exposure. There are a variety of health risks associated with mold exposure. Common health concerns include anything from mild headaches and asthma to severe respiratory problems and pneumonia. In worst-case scenarios, individuals could even die. Pregnant women, elderly individuals, children, and those who have respiratory issues could be even more at risk.
Causes and Warning Signs of Mold Growth
Many factors can contribute to mold growth on your property. Some common causes of mold growth include roof leaks and leaks inside your home. Roof leaks can occur after stormy weather creates vulnerabilities in your roofing. In-house leaks can happen when faulty plumbing reaches its breaking point.
Another cause of mold growth is poor ventilation or dirty HVAC systems. In both home and office settings, regular air duct cleanings can help prevent the growth of mold.
Since mold loves humid conditions, stormy weather and extremely humid summers are more likely to produce mold deposits. If the summer months are particularly humid, mold growth can be more likely. Mold can also grow from the flooring. Water damage usually happens at the ground level, so subflooring and flooring layers can quickly become breeding grounds for dangerous mold spores. Too much condensation or damp basements are another leading contributing factor to mold growth in both home and commercial settings.
Lastly, insulation can be a factor in the development of mold on your property. Inadequate insulation or lack of insulation can allow moisture and heat to accumulate in basement and attic spaces. As a result, mold quickly can develop and take over.
How Mold Makes Its Home
Mold needs particular conditions in order to grow. Mold spores can be carried into your home by the wind or through windows. Even your clothes could be carriers of spores. Because they are airborne, mold spores move swiftly and could already be in your home. With the right ingredients for mold to settle down, those spores can begin to spread across multiple regions of your home.
Mold needs moisture, dark, and humid environments to thrive. Common mold growth spots include basements/crawl spaces, attics, behind bathroom wallpaper, and cabinets. Overall, mold could develop anywhere that’s damp or moist. If your property has recently undergone severe water damage, your home could be at further risk of mold growth.
