Stop Mold Growth Now

Mold growth in your home or business building is a serious problem that could adversely affect the health of the building’s occupants and seriously damage the structure of the building.

Those are some major problems coming from something that floats harmlessly throughout the atmosphere. Mold spores, while found everywhere, do not occur in sufficient numbers to cause any harm, until they germinate and start to grow.

What Causes Mold Growth?

Like every other living thing, mold spores need two things before they can germinate and grow: food & water.

Water: In a home or building, a small basement leak, condensation or poor drainage will provide more than enough standing water for mold spores to grow.

Food: Mold feeds on organic matter in dust and dirt or in the surface on which the mold germinates, like wood or fabric.

The problems start when the mold finds the right mix of dampness and food, and begins to germinate.

What Problems Can Mold Growth Cause?

Not all mold is harmful to humans and animals, but the mold that is toxic can cause a variety of health issues, including:

• Eye irritation
• Headaches
• Throat irritation
• Shortness of breath
• Runny nose
• Asthma symptoms
• Allergic reactions

While your health and the health building occupants is most important, the growth of mold in a home or commercial building can cause damage to the building’s structure, furniture, fixtures and your belongings

• Wood Rot – Mold growth on the wooden structure of the building can result in costly damage that will have to be repaired or the structure replaced
• Floors & Wall Discoloration – Mold occurs in a variety of colours and will discolour any surface on which it grows.
• Damage to Furniture & Belongings – anything made of fabric or wood is susceptible to mold growth if the right conditions exist. Mold has an unpleasant, musty odour and it will make anything it grows on, like your clothes, smell that way.

How Do You Stop Mold Growth?

Even in the cleanest home, it’s impossible to get rid of the organic dust, wood and fabrics that molds love to feed on. Which means you must eliminate the moisture and dampness in your home before you can start controlling mold growth.
