What You Don't Know Can Hurt You
What is mold and how does it invade your home?
Mold is more than just an ugly stain; it's a living fungus that anchors itself to many surfaces and it won't go away until you kill it at its roots. Mold is usually black but can appear pink, red or green. Highly humid areas have the most mold growth.
Mold can be found in damp building materials where it often appears like stains and comes in a variety of colors. A musty smell is an indication of microbial growtheven
when there are no visible signs. If mold is allowed to grow in homes or offices it can contribute to poor indoor air quality. Some molds such as Serpula lacrymans, (dry rot) are highly destructive. Mold growth requires moisture. The sources of moisture can be air humidifiers, condensation or leaks from plumbing, roofs or from damp basements. Poor ventilation contributes to higher humidity levels and leads to condensation, which also allows mold growth.Molds release small “spores” into the air. So, when mold grows indoors, the number of mold spores and fragments is usually higher indoors than it is outdoors. These spores are small enough that people can actually inhale them deep into the lungs. Inhalation of spores poses the risk of developing respiratory problems. With the exception of winter months, mold spores are always present outdoors.
