What is mold? According to the CDC, “Mold is a fungal growth that forms and spreads on various kinds of damp or decaying organic matter. There are many different mold species that come in many different colors…”
Mold can grow both indoors and outdoors. Indoor microscopic mold spores require moisture to grow. There are thousands of different species of mold. Some are good (like what is used to create penicillin) but others are dangerous, causing property damage, and worse- severe health issues.
Poor ventilation and humidity are the most common causes of mold growth within homes or businesses.
If you suspect mold, either by its unique “musty, damp, or stale” scent or physical signs (visible mold, discolored walls or ceilings), it’s important to contact a professional for mold remediation.
Our First Priority mold remediation professionals bring in specialized air scrubbers that both, contain and remove spores from the air. We also inspect surfaces to identify areas that may be affected, and treat them with industrial-strength antimicrobial and antifungal products. If we discover anything that cannot be treated, we remove it to prevent recontamination.
It’s important to note that mold can form within 48 hours of a water damage event. If you’ve sustained water damage, we encourage you to have your home or business inspected for mold.
