Mold is a small fungal growth which thrives in dark, damp, and cool spaces. It usually shows up in spots you don’t often see—such as behind the dishwasher or in the basement. It grows in clusters and releases microscopic spores into the air as a way of spreading. When you see the physical presence of mold, it means there are countless spores in the air near it, which can be dangerous. This is called toxic mold and has been linked to severe illness and even death in people. Even the kind that’s not considered toxic can have a negative effect on your building and the people in it, so it’s important to have mold remediation performed as soon as possible.

The average American spends about 90% of their time inside a building, with the majority being in their homes or at work. When mold is present in the building, it can make the air quality worse than the kind outside the building. Breathing that low-quality air over long periods of time can have devastating effects. Scientists have linked mold to depression, illness, and allergic reactions.

If you’re buying a new property or suspect your building has mold, it’s best to bring in a professional to do testing and mold remediation. They can completely remove the offending mold, giving you pure and clean air to breathe again.
