Mold is a fungus that can grow anywhere there is moisture. Water leaks, poor drainage, and humidity are the perfect ingredients for the growth of dangerous mold spores. You can see the initial signs of a potential mold problem by looking for areas that are warped or water-stained. If not addressed, these areas can advance quickly into a mold problem. You will then spot areas of discoloration and the tell-tale clusters of black spots. Mold can also be detected by its musty scent.
Just cleaning up the mold or hiring a professional service to sterilize the area won’t stop it. To put an end to the growth of mold, you must first locate the source of the water problem. Garden State Earthworks can find the reason behind that excess water and drain it away from your property.
Mold poses a health risk to everyone but especially family members with suppressed immune systems or those with ongoing allergy issues. Create a healthy home environment. If you see areas of concern, give Garden State Earthworks a call for a consultation.
