Black Mold Removal

Black mold is a serious problem that can quietly grow in homes, schools, commercial buildings or any other structure. Professional Black Mold removal is the only way to ensure that Mold will be taken out and will stay out.

Causes of Black Mold

Molds including black mold constantly produce tiny spores that float through the air, both indoors and outdoors. These spores are the mold’s form of reproduction and are almost always present, no matter where you are. Mold spores become dangerous when they land on a surface indoor that is damp. The moisture feeds the spores, which begin to digest the surface they are now living on—whether it be wood, food, carpet, paper or any other type of moisture rich material.

Because spores are in the air around us all the time, the only thing necessary for growth is a moist environment that will allow the mold to grow. Once mold has begun to grow in a building, the cycle becomes almost irreversible. The building that is susceptible to moisture is now teeming with new spores that latch on to every moisture-prone surface.

Adverse Health Effects

While some individuals are more susceptible to health reactions caused by Black Mold, the presence of Black Mold is a serious problem that negatively affects the health of everyone exposed. The first physical signs of mold exposure are often nasal stuffiness, eye irritation, respiratory irritation and coughing, and rashes on the skin. Individuals exposed to mold for long periods of time, in the home, school or workplace, will often develop more serious reactions such as fever and difficulty breathing and some people will begin to develop mold infections in their lungs.

Mold Remediation

As long as moisture remains in a structure, so does the potential for mold growth. Often, professional Black Mold removal experts will be necessary to remediate a building in order to sustain a mold cleanup.

Black Mold removal begins with biological sampling, which can accurately determine the presence of mold in a building. Samples of air are taken and the volume of microorganisms present in the sample is weighed against clean air measurements. Once the presence of mold is determined, mold cleanup and remediation can begin.
