MOLDS

Various types of molds and their mold spores exist naturally in the outdoor environment and cannot be prevented from entering our homes. They are everywhere and are on all surfaces but are essentially in a dormant state. It is when these surfaces, and the molds on them, interact with moisture that they then begin to grow and become a serious problem. Molds feed on building materials, and other surfaces, in our home such as wallboard, ceilings, carpeting, and furniture and within all levels especially basements, crawlspaces and attics.  If left in contact with moisture for any length of time the molds will continue to grow and spread.  It is important to identify mold growth as soon as possible.

There are numerous species of molds, that come in all colors, and grow and feed on different surfaces. Testing for molds is not difficult and can be accomplished by a homeowner.
