Mold growth can be a serious issue, not only causing adverse effects on your health but also compromising the integrity of your property. Mold spores exist almost everywhere, both indoors and outdoors, which means it is impossible to remove mold completely from a home or business. Mold can travel through the air in tiny microscopic spores and can enter your building in many ways. The problem with mold begins when the mold spores start to grow and thrive inside your property. Mold thrives in damp warm conditions and a building with the proper mold growth co nditions can quickly become infested with spores. Mold spores grow into colonies after being exposed to water and can spread throughout your property in as quickly as 48-72 hours. Common water sources that often lead to mold growth include roofing leaks, plumbing issues, and damp basements.
