Mold

Mold and mildew are types of fungi that rapidly reach wherever moisture is present indoors. This can result from any number of situations such as flooding, water accumulation after a fire, a broken pipe, or even a malfunctioning HVAC system – all of which can lead to trouble. Any high degree of moisture, combined with temperature and nutrients, will create a perfect environment for the fungal components of mold and mildew to thrive. It is essential to remove the source of the moisture to prevent the spread of mold contamination as soon as possible.

Molds grow almost anywhere and can be found in any part of a structure. Wherever there is dampness, there is a good possibility for the growth of mold. Examples include Damp Basements, Showers & Tubs, Air conditioners & Humidifiers, Wet Carpets.

Children who live in moldy places are more likely to develop allergies, asthma, and other health problems.
