Mold can get into many different spaces inside the home. Anywhere that water can get into; there is the potential for mold growth. Once established, the mold will continue to grow. As it grows, it will release spores into the air. This can affect the respiratory system of anyone who breaths in. The only way to stop it is to remove the water source and tear out all of the material. This has to be done by a remediation team because of the health hazard it presents. These are the most common areas where mold damage occurs.
Kitchens are a breeding ground for mold. Water is constantly present. The heat driven by the cooking process can keep the kitchen warm enough for it to spread. Often, the mold grows behind cabinet spaces and can get behind appliances. After it is discovered and removed, the Mold Damage Restoration will have to reassemble the walls for the cabinets and ensure that the appliance space is ready.
Bathrooms are notorious for their mold growth. The high humidity and heat levels in the bathroom really create the ideal conditions. Mold can get behind the tiles in the shower and behind the toilet. It can also hide behind the cabinets. It also gets into the grout. Because of the potential extent of the mold, the entire bathroom may have to be torn out to ensure it is all removed.
Basements are also highly notorious for mold growth. Many of the piping runs are located in the basement area. In addition, the moisture from the soil can seep into the basement area causing unnaturally high humidity levels. The heat pumped out by the furnace provides a source of warmth. If the basement is finished, the mold can be hidden behind the drywall and underneath flooring. After removal, the Mold Damage Restoration will address all areas where it was necessary to remove material.
Mold growth can occur in any room in the home. These are the most likely places to find it. Once it is discovered, the mold must be safely removed from the space.
