MoldEveryone want's to feel safe at home but is your home safe?
One of the biggest concerns is mold. it can create serious health problems. Mold is a liviing thing, it is a fungi that reproduces by releasing spores in the air.When the spores land in a damp area they begin tio grow.We encounter thousands of different types of mold every day.
The toxic mold we hear most about is Stachybotrys chartarum, a slimy, greenish-black mold that grows on moisture-laden materials that contain cellulose, such as wood, paper, drywall, and other similar products. It does not grow on tile or cement.
Even if the mold in your home is not toxic mold, it can still be a problem, because any mold growing on organic materials will in time destroy them--and too much mold of any type smells bad and degrades air quality.
To help prevent mold clothes dryers and exhaust fans should be vented outside. Your bathroom should have an exhaust fan and be used when air borne moisture is present. Roof leaks should be repaired immediately. Leaky water pipes and drains should be. repair them as soon as possible,
If your mold problem is severe you will likely need the help of a mold remediation company, someone who specializes in mold removal.
