10 MOLD FACTS FOR HOMEOWNERS AND EMPLOYEES

1. Airborne mold spores are everywhere ¬both indoors and outdoors. Resident and employee health is at serious risk if there are elevated levels of mold spores indoors.
2. The most dangerous indoor molds are Penicillium/Aspergillus, Cladosporium, Chaetomium, and Stachybotrys. Mold Testing and Laboratory Analyses are required to identify specific mold species.
3. Mold spores can cause serious health problems even if the spores are dead or dormant (inactive while waiting for moisture to resume growth). Even the smell of dead or dormant mold can make some mold-sensitive people ill.
4. It is impossible to get rid of all mold spores indoors. Some mold spores will remain present in the house dust and floating in the air.
5. The mold spores will not grow into colonies if there is insufficient moisture. Indoor mold growth can and should be prevented or controlled by controlling moisture indoors. If organic materials are wet for more than 24 hours, mold growth can begin.
6. Mold grows by eating and destroying organic building materials and other cellulous-based materials such as carpeting, upholstery, and clothing. The longer mold grows, the more mold damage to the building.
7. Cellulose is the main substance in the cell walls of plants/wood. It is used in manufacturing many organic building materials such as drywall, plaster board, plywood substitutes, and ceiling tiles.
8. Mold can grow hidden and undetected inside wall/ceiling cavities, beneath wallpaper, paneling, carpeting, and inside heating and cooling equipment, ducts, attics, crawlspaces, and basements.
9. Mold growth is often the result of structural/construction defect or neglectful maintenance that allows moisture to enter the structure.
10. The first step to mold remediation is fixing the water problem. (leaky roof, faulty plumbing, high indoor humidity that enables mold growth)
Effective Mold Remediation requires following strict protocol best performed by trained/ certified remediators.
