Understanding Mold and Misconceptions

It is important to be expertly educated on mold and stray from misleading advertising about mold and its potential dangers. Should you spot mold, or what appears to be mold, at your commercial business calling trained professionals to receive expert opinion and testing is ideal.

A misconception for ‘mold removal’ is all molds will forever be gone – This is false. Essentially, mold is everywhere, indoors and outdoors. Mold spores do float in the air and can enter your home in many different fashions. Furthermore, mold spores do thrive on moisture, thus why mold can prove to have a musty, damp smell.

Mold Damage Tips

• Stay out of affected areas. It is important not to disturb potential mold as spores can travel.
• Turn off HVAC units as this can also lead to spore disruption and spread.
• Do NOT attempt to take care of the mold area yourself, call the experts.
• Do not spray with bleach or other disinfectants.
