Mold can be found almost anywhere; they can grow on virtually any organic substance, as long as moisture and oxygen are present. Some molds can grow on wood, paper, carpet, foods, and insulation. When excessive moisture accumulates in buildings or on building materials, mold growth will often occur, particularly if the moisture problem remains undiscovered or unaddressed.
Signs of Mold Growth
Mold likes moisture and damp places, and a recent flood or water damage can encourage it. Leaks from burst pipes or HVAC systems can also promote mold growth. Watch out for:
- Musty odors
- Allergic Symptoms from Mold
- Black spots on damp areas
- Discoloration of walls or water stains on ceilings
- Recent water damage
- Excessive humidity
- Signs of Water Problems
- Landscaping or gutters that direct water into or under the building
- Condensation
- Past Flooding
The Process of Mold Remediation
In most cases, it is better to have a professional Naples mold remediation company do the work instead of doing it yourself. Even though chlorine bleach is often used to kill mold, you can’t guarantee that it will totally stop mold growth.
- Containment and Ventilation
The first step, and arguably the most important, is setting up containment and ventilation. The use of proper ventilation and air filtration devices (AFDs) such as air scrubbers is required to ensure that mold spores that are disturbed and become airborne are not spreading to an uninfected area. Naples mold remediation companies such as ServiceMaster by Wright use government-approved devices to contain mold growth.
