WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW? HERE ARE SOME IMPORTANT FACTS:
Water has the ability to not only corrode, but it can also encourage the breeding of life forms such as bacteria and mold. There are other worrying effects, such as damage caused by swelling in walls that have absorbed large amounts of water. There is also the danger that can arise from water getting into electrical components.
Water damage is stressful and you only have a small window of time to respond before mold begins to grow. Regardless of the extent of water damage, biological water contamination spreads quickly. Once your property has sustained water damage, you don’t have the luxury of waiting for a convenient time to start the cleanup. The secondary damage from mold and mildew can present serious health risks to anyone living or working in your environment.
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT MOLD:
- Mold requires moisture to grow. Mold is a kind of fungi that reproduces by making tiny spores. Mold spores exist everywhere in the outdoor environment and can get indoors very easily through open doors, windows, air ducts, vents, etc. It can also attach to clothes, shoes, and bags.
- Mold develops very quickly but often remains hidden for a long time. Mold can often remain hidden until the spores have already affected larges areas of your property and caused considerable structural damage. This happens because mold usually starts growing in very inconspicuous areas of the house such as inside walls, behind leaky appliances, within insulation, and other damp,dark places.
- Mold growth is a sign of water damage. The presence of mold should alert you of a hidden problem. If you detect an unpleasant smell, or see mold patches on the ceilings or walls, you need to carefully inspect your property to identify the source or the moisture.
- Mold can cause various health problems. Research shows that prolonged exposure to mold may cause a variety of allergy symptoms and other health problems such as chronic fatigue, headaches, dizziness, disorientation, sneezing, running nose, nasal congestion, itchy eyes, blurry vision, coughing, respiratory problems,skin irritation, asthma, and inflammation of the lungs. Toxic black mold, in particular, may have serious long-term health effects. It causes mycotoxins that can cause circulatory symptoms and vascular problems when inhaled such as irregular heartbeat, heart inflammation, low blood pressure, internal or external hemorrhaging.
- Mold growth can be prevented. Some ways to prevent mold is to ensure good air circulation, keep windows open, run bathroom fans, keep air ducts clean and in good condition, keeping indoor humidity levels below 45 percent, inspecting your property regular intervals, especially after major storms.
