Mold and Moisture
Mold is one of
the most ancient organisms on the planet, therefore it needs very little in
regards in the way of nutrients to survive. Its primary form of sustenance is
cellulose material and moisture, both which are plentiful in regards to water damage restoration
and water restoration.
Mold is
a significant problem in relation to water damage and general problems with
moisture in the home. This can often be caused by a backup of a sump pump, a
leaky roof, or a pipe bursting. Mold is often an after effect of these moisture
disasters that occur.
When
dealing with mold the general factor that seems to aid in the creation of the
problem is water. Water is a basic ingredient for mold growth. It allows for
mold to travel at a rapid pace and latch on to the walls that if made of wood
materials can easily provide sustenance for the mold to grow on and reproduce
their spores. These spores can travel quickly through the air and therefore can
spread to other parts of the home. Spores can also lie dormant for long periods
of time, waiting for the right atmosphere and environmental humidity to
proliferate, thus precipitating the need for mold remediation.
Here
are parts of the home that usually have consistent moisture problems that can
cause mold to develop.
§ The
attic area of the home usually has a consistent moisture problem due to it not
being well insulated, or that there is a potential for a leaky roof. This area
is a prime area for mold to grow in the home due moisture being built up in the
area because it has nowhere else to go.
§ The
basement area of the property is a prime example of a place that mold can
easily grow. Many basements have issues with moisture permeating from the soil
surrounding, and with the possibility of a sump pump being in the basement it
is also a problem. The moisture in this area needs to be controlled otherwise
the mold will keep reoccurring.
§ The
kitchen of the home often has a mold problem, because of moisture as well. With
sinks and dish washers in this area of the home there is almost a constant
source of moisture. Though it may not be apparent these sources can help in the
producing of mold areas that are not entirely visible such as under the cabinet
surfaces or behind the kitchen cupboards.
