There are several common causes for mold build-up in the home. Water damage from remodeling or weather damage, hidden water sources, and of course high humidity levels can all create mold problems. Also, schools are susceptible to mold problems because of a lack of maintenance during the summer months, which can be cause for concern for parents.
Indications that you may have mold can be stains on walls or ceilings. Odor can also indicate that molds are growing where these smells may be lingering. Anywhere there may be a leak that has gone unnoticed is a potential breeding ground for mold. Either due to weather, leaky pipes or an overflowing toilet; if the area hasn’t been properly dried there is a chance mold will appear.
Molds reproduce with tiny spores floating through the air that cannot be seen by the naked eye. This too is a reason to check for mold in your home or place of business. Some places where mold can grow are in showers, under sinks, refrigerators, dishwashers and crawl spaces to name a few. Kleen Air Environmental can inspect all of these places for you.
Along with the obvious odors and damage mold can cause are the health risks associated with exposure to this type of fungus. Respiratory issues, allergic reactions, asthma, headaches, fatigue, chronic sinusitis and a weakened immune system to name a few. In some instances the fungi can become toxic causing more severe health problems in people that have been exposed. These same illnesses can also affect household pets. All the more reason to schedule a remediation inspection as soon as possible.
