Mold spores are, well, everywhere. They’re a naturally occurring part of the environment, and they travel far and wide with the movement of air. When outside of a home’s interior, mold plays a valuable role in regulating the environment by helping to naturally decompose organic matter. However, mold inside of a home represents a multitude of problems. Mold threatens the health of the home’s occupants, particularly those with compromised immune systems or breathing disorders such as COPD or asthma. Mold Damage in Worcester also slowly destroys whatever it finds to grow upon. Although filtration systems help, it’s really impossible to prevent the spread of mold spores. The only way to control the growth of mold is by controlling the moisture that it needs in order to proliferate. In most cases, deliberate reduction of interior humidity is needed to inhibit mold’s growth.
There are a number of ways that excess water finds its way into a home: broken pipes and/or hoses, drains that back up, accidents involving water and natural disasters such as storms or flooding. Whatever the cause, speed is of essence in removing excess water, because mold colonies can form within just 24 hours. So if your home should experience water damage from any cause, the homeowner should immediately seek to have the water removed as well as mold mitigation and control from Certified Disaster Restoration.
