KNOW YOUR ENEMY

What is mold?

Mold is a type of fungus that comprises multi-cellular fungal filaments and exists everywhere in the environment. Mold needs three things to grow: moisture, an organic food source (for e.g. wood, fabric etc) and a lack of air flow. When given the right conditions, it will start to proliferate and becomes visible.

How fast can mold grow?

Once given the proper conditions that are mentioned above, it can grow in less than 24 hours. Beyond 48- 72 hours, mold can grow to dangerously high levels. That’s why, after a flood or water damage event, it is important to get the property thoroughly dried and cleaned.

Is mold harmful?

Since people have varying levels of sensitivity to mold, the symptoms may vary from person to person. Some may exhibit skin irritation while others who already have respiratory problems may notice an aggravation. Besides the health hazards, mold can also damage your property, eat into wood, wallpaper and other possessions.

DIY REMOVAL vs. HIRING A PROFESSIONAL:

When it comes to mold, people often debate whether they need to incur extra expenses in hiring mold remediation experts for the job. Isn’t a chemical bleach enough to get rid of them? No, it’s not. While you might clean what’s on the surface, mold never perishes, as long as there’s moisture that allows it to thrive. Drying the property yet not controlling mold levels can mean one thing; mold grows dormant for a while and can go active anytime it’s given the right conditions. That’s why DIY methods such as bleaching the surface, household cleaners and painting over the surface never work, and there are high chances that mold may make a reappearance.
