Mold 101: What You Should Know

Why Indoor Air Quality Matters More Than Ever

We spend more time at home with our families than ever before—working, playing, and living our daily lives. As a result, mold and indoor air quality have become essential factors in maintaining a healthy, safe, and comfortable environment.

Understanding Mold: Where It Comes From and How It Grows

Mold is a natural part of our everyday environment, found both indoors and outdoors. It belongs to a unique group of fungi that grows in thread-like structures known as filaments and reproduces by releasing tiny particles called spores.

The Natural Role of Mold in Our Environment

Mold that occurs naturally outdoors plays an essential role in breaking down dead plants, leaves, and organic matter, enriching the soil in the process. Mold is everywhere, carried through the air by natural forces like wind and rain.

How Mold Enters Our Homes

The buildings where we live and work aren’t completely airtight. Mold spores from the outdoor air can easily enter our homes through doors, windows, HVAC systems, and even tiny openings that are too small to see. But don’t worry—these small amounts of mold are unavoidable and a normal part of our environment.

How Moisture Triggers Mold Growth Indoors

Mold thrives indoors when spores land on surfaces with the right conditions, mainly moisture. While most home surfaces provide nutrients and temperature, it’s excess moisture or unchecked humidity that allows mold to run rampant.

THE BIGGEST FACTOR FOR MOLD IS WATER.

Mold growth is often caused by moisture issues, such as leaks, flooding, or high humidity levels. The presence of mold can lead to a variety of health problems, including respiratory issues, allergies, and skin irritations. Prolonged exposure to mold spores can exacerbate asthma and other pre-existing conditions. In addition to health concerns, mold can cause significant structural damage to buildings, leading to costly repairs. Mold can weaken walls, floors, and ceilings, and damage personal belongings. Professional mold removal services are essential to identify the source of moisture, eliminate mold growth, and prevent future occurrences.

Mold Air Quality and Health

AIR QUALITY & HEALTH

Maintaining high air quality is crucial for health, especially in environments with potential mold contamination. Mold spores can become airborne, posing inhalation risks and triggering allergic reactions. Professional mold removal services include measures to control and contain mold spores, ensuring that air quality is maintained throughout the process. This not only protects the health of those involved but also ensures a safe and clean environment for future use. Regular mold inspections and removal help prevent exposure and ensure compliance with health and safety regulations, promoting a healthier living and working environment.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Common signs of mold include musty odors, visible mold growth, water stains, and respiratory symptoms among occupants. If you suspect mold, it’s best to get a professional inspection.

Mold exposure can cause allergic reactions, respiratory issues, and exacerbate conditions like asthma. Some molds, such as black mold, are particularly harmful.

While small areas of mold can sometimes be cleaned by homeowners, larger infestations or toxic molds should be handled by professionals to ensure complete removal and safety.

In all scenarios, proper PPE should be used to avoid health risk especially to those with infants, respiratory illness, etc. There is risk of creating cross contamination if mold is not removed in an enclosure with HEPA Filtration, etc. This can cause a small mold situation to become a very large one.

The length of the remediation process depends on the extent of the mold problem. It can take anywhere from a few hours to several days.

The cost varies depending on the severity of the mold infestation and the size of the area affected. A professional assessment is required to provide an accurate estimate.

If the location of the mold is not known or seen visually, a professional hygienist is typically hired by the structure owner to do an inspection and or testing to create a report complete with recommendations. DDC does not perform testing services as this is considered a conflict of interest in our eyes. We can provide qualified contacts that do testing services if you’d like by contacting our office. Our team will review that report and visit the site as necessary to evaluate. A written proposal is created complete with work scope and pricing. Once approved, the mold removal work is scheduled and performed. Where necessary, air enclosures with HEPA Filtration, etc. are installed to allow the mold removal to occur safely by our team wearing proper PPE.

The duration of asbestos abatement depends on the size of the area and the complexity of the job. It can take from a few days to a week or more.

Proper ventilation, controlling humidity levels, and promptly addressing leaks and water damage can help prevent mold from returning.

CLEAN AIR. HAPPY PEOPLE.
