Mold is a type of fungus that is present both outdoors and indoors. As a type of fungi, it can be helpful for the environment because it breaks down plant and animal matter. Unfortunately, mold often causes problems for homeowners because it grows almost anywhere you find moisture and organic matter such as in buildings and people’s homes.
As mold gathers, it gives off vapors that most people recognize as a musty odor. On surfaces it is usually detectable by its black, blue, or greenish color. Commonly, mold occurs where there is evidence of water damage or elevated humidity such as leaky pipes or windows. Damp areas such as bathrooms, crawl spaces, and basements are also perfect breeding grounds for mold spores. It can also attach itself to paper products, dust, insulation, fabric, carpet and upholstery.
Mold can be a serious issue for homeowners and building managers because there are over 100 varieties that can be hazardous to our health. Luckily, however, only a few of these molds are commonly found inside. Usually, they fall into two categories: allergenic and mycotoxins. Allergenic molds are more troublesome for people with allergies and respiratory problems. As a result, they may suffer from sore throat, rashes, eye irritation, wheezing and shortness of breath. People with respiratory conditions such as asthma, or emphysema may experience more severe symptoms.
Toxic mold, on the other hand, affects everyone and long-term exposure can cause serious problems. Known symptoms of black mold exposure include sneezing and coughing; irritation to the eyes, nose and throat; recurring headaches; fatigue; and rashes. In case of prolonged exposure, more severe symptoms may appear such as vomiting, nausea and bleeding in the nose and lungs. Exposure to either type of mold is not healthy and long-term exposure is more serious. Toxic mold is most serious when children, elderly, immune comprised individuals, or recent surgery patients are exposed.
Before starting the mold remediation process, any sources of moisture or water must be addressed. Otherwise, the mold may soon return. A relatively minor mold issue can spread throughout a home of office building in as little as 48 hours. For this reason, our trained staff is on call waiting to respond to your needs. For emergency services, you can reach our president Tom Re, directly on his mobile phone at 908-456-2900. Our rapid response minimizes the mold damage and prevents problems in the future. It also controls the cost of remediation.
Mold inspection is crucial for maintaining a safe and healthy living or working environment. Mold can cause a range of health problems, from allergies and respiratory issues to infections, and it is important to detect it as soon as possible. A mold inspector will use various tools and techniques to identify the presence of mold and determine the extent of contamination. During the inspection, the inspector will examine the interior and exterior of the building to look for visible signs of mold growth and use moisture meters and infrared cameras to locate hidden mold.
Mold removal is a complex process that requires the expertise of a professional. In New Jersey, mold removal should only be performed by a licensed and certified contractor.
