How Does Mold Affect Us?
Mold inside your property isn’t just an eyesore and a source of odor, but it can also have a wide array of negative effects on the health of the structure’s occupants. By the time you or the other people inside your home or business begin to notice signs of a mold infestation, it is likely that the mold problem has spread throughout your property.
Physical symptoms of mold exposure may include:
- Coughing
- Itchy or watery eyes
- Skin rash
- Eye irritation
- Runny or stuffy nose
- Sneezing
- Headache
- Shortness of breath
- Sore throat
In addition to all of the impacts of mold mentioned above, it can also significantly reduce the value of every square foot of your property. Mold cannot just be scrubbed away, but must be treated by professionals to ensure that it is not only removed, but that it doesn’t return. Mold removal is essential to safeguard the health of your property and its inhabitants.
Molds are ubiquitous and can grow on almost any surface when moisture is present. They reproduce by releasing spores that are carried by air currents. When these spores land on a moist surface such as drywall, cloth, or any porous material, they begin to grow. Typically, mold levels indoors do not affect most healthy individuals.
Since common building materials can support mold growth and mold spores are everywhere, indoor mold growth is usually related to water or moisture issues. Incomplete drying of flooring materials, like concrete, can lead to mold development. Flooding, leaky roofs, building maintenance problems, or plumbing issues can also cause indoor mold growth. Water vapor often condenses on surfaces cooler than the moist air, promoting mold growth. This vapor passes through walls and ceilings, typically condensing in winter in climates with long heating seasons. Floors over crawl spaces and basements, especially those without vapor barriers or with dirt floors, are particularly susceptible to mold. The "doormat test" can detect moisture from concrete slabs lacking a sub-slab vapor barrier. However, some materials, such as polished concrete, do not support mold growth.
How do I know if I have a mold problem?
Visible greenish-brown, brown, or black mold on interior building surfaces and personal items is a clear indication of a mold problem. A damp, musty odor is another strong sign of mold presence. When a water intrusion or high humidity event occurs and is not promptly addressed by water damage repair experts, mold growth is almost always an inevitable consequence.
What should I do if I suspect mold?
Safety is the top priority when dealing with a mold problem. Immediately remove people and pets from the affected areas. Do not attempt to handle or clean the mold yourself. Avoid disturbing the mold or spraying it with disinfectants or bleach. Turn off heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems to prevent mold spores from spreading to other areas.

What kinds of health risks are associated with mold?
Mold can cause severe allergic reactions and exacerbate asthma. People and pets with respiratory issues, as well as children and the elderly, are more vulnerable to mold exposure. Common symptoms include shortness of breath, wheezing, coughing, eye irritation, nose and throat irritation, and headaches.
When should I consider Mold Remediation?
Mold becomes hazardous when it multiplies into colonies due to a significant or ongoing moisture source, such as a roof leak, plumbing leak, flood, or high humidity event, quickly leading to a serious mold issue. Mold remediation involves addressing and eliminating the moisture source, preventing mold spread, decontaminating affected building structures and personal property, removing the mold, and restoring the property to its pre-loss condition.
Will my insurance cover Mold Remediation?
When your water damage or mold remediation service is covered by insurance, we handle the process directly with your insurance company. Our expertise ensures you receive the maximum claim benefit. Covered expenses typically include water damage repairs, mold removal, remodeling, and alternate living costs if you need to be temporarily displaced.
