| Mold
Mold is a fungus, which can be found in any location, indoors or outside, provided there is a supportive surface, warm temperatures, a supply of nutrient and moisture. Since the early 1990's, mold has become a controversial indoor environmental issue when it's presence was detected in buildings throughout North America.
Mold is commonly found in water damaged buildings, Common sites for indoor mold growth includes bathroom tile, basement walls, area around windows where moisture condenses, and near leaky water fountain or sinks. Common sources or causes of water or moisture problems includes roof leaks, localized flooding due to plumbing failures or heavy rains, and slow leaks in plumbing fixtures. Mold will also cause the deterioration of building materials (wood, paper and cotton products) if left unattended. Moisture control is the key to mold control.
If moldy substances are disturbed or damaged this causes spores to be released into the air. These mycotoxins are easily absorbed by the human body via airways and the skin.
Mold should be removed or disturbed only under controlled conditions to keep the chances of spreading the contamination to other areas down.
Inadequate or incomplete corrective action will ultimately add cost and potentially increase the amount of work necessary for complete correction.
