Mold Remediation

What is Mold?

Molds are small elements of moist organic matter formed by several types of fungi. Mold spores can be found lying dormant on almost every surface in a home or building. When mold spores position themselves on a surface with appropriate moisture content, nutrients, and temperature, spores will sprout and mold will grow. Once established indoors, mold can spread creating many health issues and destroying building structures. Mold allergens and toxins can cause health problems for some people. The most susceptible to the health hazards presented by mold are children, elderly people and those with suppressed immune systems. Any person however might be affected or become sensitive to mold at any time.
