How to get rid of Business or House Mold
Symptoms of Mold: In the House or Your Surroundings

From a Homeowner's perspective, it is important to have a specialist who is certified to inspect your home regularly; a mold inspection by such a professional should also be performed prior to the purchase of a new home. Trying to buy or sell a house with black toxic mold can lead to major financial issues. Steve Levy explains how mold can develop into such a large problem : Mold spores comprise 25% of the world's biomass. Generally mold in the outdoor environment is good because it's what helps biodegrade waste. However, mold in the indoor environment can be hazardous to health if left untreated. Mold infestations may be hidden in places such as vents, wall cavities, even under floors and carpeting. With water being the key ingredient for mold to grow, the extent of any water damage should not be overlooked or ignored. Surprisingly, homes built over the last thirty to forty years may be more susceptible to mold growth due to the building materials used. Also, most newer homes don't allow for the proper air ventilation which causes moisture. Retention of moisture stimulates present dormant mold spores leading to mold growth.

As with every subject, the best way to deal with this problem is through education. We know that water and moisture cause mold growth. How can we prevent such growth or remediate it if it already exists? Steve Levy suggests the following: Controlling moisture and water intrusion is your first line of defense. Any water event within the home must be completely addressed (dried) within 24 to 48 hours to prevent problematic mold growth. Be on the look out for the damp, humid conditions where mold thrives: Bath rooms with poor ventilation, vents, clothes dryers and exhaust fans. Consider installing a dehumidifier in chronically moist rooms, don't carpet damp areas. Insulate pipes and other cold surfaces to discourage condensation, install storm windows. Never delay minor maintenance and schedule proactive inspections to search for leaks in the roof, pipes and/or high chronic moisture areas. Last and certainly not least, consider having your home inspected.
