What is Mold?

Mold is a type of fungus that grows on plants and fibers and is frequently associated with damp places such as bathrooms, basements and attics. Mold travels through the air as tiny spores that make their way into the wet regions of a house or building, where they breed. Mold spreads fast, so it is best to treat it immediately.

How does mold cause damage?

Mold spores are easily spread through the air we breathe and can be absorbed into our body without our knowledge. When mold is toxic, mold removal becomes an urgent matter. Mold produces toxic substances which may affect our health. These contaminants can be ingested through food, inhaled through air or absorbed by contact with the skin. The consequences are critical and require immediate attention.

FAQs

  • Exposure to mold can be dangerous, especially for those with allergies, asthma, or weakened immune systems. Mold spores in the air can cause respiratory issues, throat irritation, and skin problems. Prolonged exposure may worsen existing conditions and lead to severe complications. Certain types of mold produce toxins harmful to humans and pets. Promptly addressing mold issues by eliminating moisture sources and cleaning affected areas is crucial for maintaining health and safety.

  • Mold colonization and growth can lead to the production of mycotoxins, potent agents often associated with "sick building syndrome." These toxins can induce various symptoms in both healthy adults and children. In severe cases, exposure to these toxic byproducts has even resulted in fatalities.

  • If you notice thread-like clusters of small, black/green/brown/white dots on bathroom or basement walls, or detect a musty odor, you likely have a mold issue. Mold can grow within walls, making detection challenging. Some mold remains hidden and undetectable by our senses. Symptoms of mold allergy include runny or itchy nose, sneezing, fatigue, headache, congestion, sore throat, itchy or watery eyes. In children, mold allergy often results in recurrent respiratory infections.

  • Online test kits and cheap services may seem convenient but are often unreliable. Basic kits only check for mold spores, which might not accurately indicate a problem unless counts are very high. A thorough assessment, including inspection and testing, is better. Severe mold issues are noticeable, but it's wise to consult a licensed specialist. Alternatively, changes in health may signal mold problems.

  • Do not paint or caulk over mold. Remove the mold and thoroughly dry the area before painting or caulking. It's crucial to have a licensed specialist perform this task to prevent cross-contamination. Painting or caulking over existing mold won't eliminate it.

  • Absolutely. New homes, particularly those tightly sealed, can trap moisture, especially with inadequate ventilation in kitchens and bathrooms. Additionally, if carpet is installed directly on a concrete slab without a vapor barrier, it can absorb moisture and become prone to mold growth.
