What Is Mold?
Before discussing what mold removal looks like from Mountain West Moldbusters, we need to go over the definition of mold.
Mold is a type of fungus that you can find both indoors and outdoors. In nature, mold plays a role in breaking down dead organic matter, such as fallen leaves and trees.
Mold requires three factors to thrive:
- Moisture
- Organic materials
- Warmth
While mold can thrive indoors and outdoors, it is only advantageous when it stays outside. Inside our homes, mold can produce visible patches or discoloration on surfaces. It can also emit a musty odor. Also, mold can adversely affect health, especially for individuals with allergies, asthma, or compromised immune systems.
Common health symptoms associated with mold exposure include the following.
- Nasal congestion
- Throat irritation
- Coughing
- Sneezing
- Skin rashes
- Respiratory problems
Where You Can Find Mold
As mentioned above, mold needs moisture, warmth, and organic materials to thrive. It can find these things throughout a home. However, some locations are more common problem areas for mold than others. These include the following.
- Bathrooms
- Kitchens
- Basements
- Attics
- Crawl spaces
- Windows and doors
- HVAC systems
How You Can Control Mold Growth
Once you know what mold is and where it is often found, you will better control its growth. In many cases, it is easier to prevent mold outbreaks than to remove it. Here are a few ways you may be able to reduce or stop mold growth in your home.
- Keep humidity levels below 50%.
- Ensure high-moisture areas, such as kitchens and bathrooms, are properly ventilated.
- Fix any leaks in your home.
- Clean and dry moisture-prone areas, such as bathrooms and kitchens.
- Use mold-resistant materials.
- Schedule regular mold inspections.
