Mold spores are present in the air we breath and are typically not a problem until they find a dark, wet space with any organic manor serving as food such as dry wall or carpet. Mold spores can enter commercial buildings through open doorways, windows, and HVAC units. Mold spores multiply and circulate through the air finding moist surfaces to cling to at which time mold quickly develops.
Due to today’s well insulated, climate-controlled buildings, excessive mold growth has become an increasing problem as the lack of ventilation causes a build up of humidity. Without proper mold remediation, chances are likely that mold will spread and require expensive mold removal solutions. Mold can not only compromise the structural integrity of property, mold infestation can be obvious or hidden and can contaminate the air we breathe posing serious health hazards.
Water intrusion is the leading cause of mold growth and can originate from leaky roofs, windows, condensation, walls, fire suppression, and broken or backed up pipes. Other causes of mold growth include an improperly balanced HVAC system, compromised vapor barriers, and cracks in exterior walls and foundations.
