Mold Remediation in Marshall, Starke, Pulaski & Fulton Counties
5/11/2018 (Permalink)
Any commercial property, old or new, in our area can become rapidly infested with toxic levels of mold after the introduction of a source of moisture (not just from plumbing or roof leak either!) Consistently high levels of humidity indoors can be enough for mold to spawn a colony. Don't worry though, SERVPRO of Marshall, Starke, Pulaski, Fulton is here to help!
Once growth begins, it can take as little as 48 hours for a new colony of mold to spread throughout the house and reach levels high enough to cause allergic reactions and other health issues.
If you suspect your business may be “sick” with excess mold growth, the best solution is to call in a certified Environmentalist to assess, test and report a protocol for immediate remediation.
To Effectively Fight Mold, You Need to Understand Mold
Before you start Google searches of your area and begin collecting bids from local contractors for mold removal, you need to be aware of a few things.
First, mold spores exist everywhere. They are microscopic and travel through the air, similarly to pollen. They can come indoors through an open window, doorway, or even on your hair and clothing.
Second, contrary to the claims of some mold removal and remediation companies, it’s not physically possible to do a 100% mold removal for the reason we just mentioned above. It’s everywhere.
Third, mold only becomes harmful when it is allowed to colonize indoors. Colonization occurs when spores come in contact with a viable source of moisture. From there it settles in and starts to reproduce. Colonization is what brings the levels of mold up to potentially unhealthy concentrations. That’s where the trouble begins.
Consequently, before any effective mold removal can begin, its food source, i.e., moisture, has to be removed. That means fixing or replacing that leaky roof, addressing any plumbing issues, or utilizing a dehumidifier to keep indoor humidity under 45%.
