Mold, also sometimes known as mildew, is an airborne fungus that grows on wet objects. Mold is an essential part of our ecosystem and plays a significant role in it by breaking down dead plant matter like dead trees and fallen leaves; inside, mold cultivation should be avoided at all costs. If mold spores are inhaled, they can cause severe allergies and asthma attacks to those living or working in the contaminated area. An environment that is free from mold promotes the growth of good bacteria and fungi that consume the waste that causes mold growth. Mold removal is a complex process that starts with a mold testing which can detect the extent of mold infestation and the mold removal that needs to be done in order to fully eliminate mold from the affected areas.
Mold removal may need to be performed on a large scale, depending on how far-reaching the mold has spread to be successful. Small mold remediation operations may include eliminating a small section of mold. Large scale mold remediation involves removing large sections of mold and repairing the site to prevent future outbreaks. This process is typically more expensive and time consuming than other forms of mold removal. When doing a mold inspection, it is important to note the entire perimeter of the room being inspected including any adjoining rooms.
