Causes of Mold
Mold and mildew thrive wherever there’s lots of moisture, and plenty of organic materials to eat. Unfortunately, these conditions can be found all over your home—from dripping pipes behind the washing machine, to an improperly vented steamy bathroom, to leaks in a roof or around a foundation.
Once they find a damp place to take root, mildew and mold sustain themselves by consuming organic materials used throughout your house, such as carpet backing, paper-based wallpaper, glues used in certain construction materials, and, of course, exposed wood.
When established, mold causes unsightly cosmetic and structural damage, creates an unpleasant “musty” odor, and can cause allergy and respiratory problems for residents. This is why proper and thorough mold remediation is so important to the integrity of your home.
If you see mold, chances are that you’re only seeing part of the problem—mold can actually penetrate deep into building materials, where they can’t just be wiped away. Improper mold remediation that only deals with visible contamination is just a temporary solution; the mold that hasn’t been removed will continue to grow, and your problem will continue to worsen over time.
It’s also important that any attempts at mold remediation avoid contaminating other areas of your house. You don’t want mold spores taking up residence in one area as you try to kick it out of another!
