What Is Mold?

Mold is a type of fungi that grows where there is moisture. If you start to notice a strong musty smell, this means it is time to act. Mold is not something that can be completely removed from your home. It is present naturally, both indoors and out.

It can enter your home through open doors, open windows, HVAC systems, etc. Once mold spores enter your home and are exposed to moisture, they can become a devastating issue in a short period of time. This can contaminate the air quality and cause health issues. You need to locate the cause of the mold before any remediation can begin, otherwise it could quickly return.

What Not To Do
  • Do not touch or disturb mold
  • Do not spray bleach on the mold or any other type of disinfectants
  • Do not blow air across any surface with visible mold growth
  • Do not paint over it
  • Do not attempt to dry the area yourself
