Mold can develop and spread whenever water or moisture meet with the right conditions. Water from foundation seepage, leaky pipes, roof damage, elevated humidity, insufficient ventilation or other issues can make an indoor space the ideal environment for fungal growth. In damp conditions, spores will germinate, root and spread. Once mold begins to root itself into your porous building materials, the embedded roots become very difficult to remove without the right equipment, products and knowledge. Unresolved fungal growth and moisture problems will worsen with time and cause additional problems like damaged building materials, structural rotting, health effects and so much more. Mold requires professional cleanup, and the water problem needs to be corrected by an appropriate professional.
Once airborne, spores can spread to contaminate virtually any surface. A mold cleanup company
will be able to isolate the areas of concern, contain the spores, and remove the fungal growth without cross-contamination to previously clean and unaffected areas. Professional mold cleanup is completed under HEPA-filtered, negative air containment. Cleanup technicians wear the proper personal protective equipment and use professional-grade equipment and products. An industry expert will also be able to provide valuable information regarding the moisture source that caused the moldy environment in the first place. All moisture problems need to be resolved following cleanup to ensure a mold-free future.
