Whey is Mold Dangerous?

Mold is all around us. You are exposed to it on a regular basis and probably don’t even realize it. Under normal circumstance, it’s actually quite beneficial. That’s because it decomposes dead or decaying organic matter, such as fallen leaves and dead trees. However, when mold starts growing indoors in large quantities, it can become extremely dangerous. Mold is a fungus and there are several different varieties. It reproduces by releasing airborne spores. Those spores seek out fibrous materials, attach to them, and begin feeding, and as they feed, they can do extensive damage. Because most of the materials within your home or business are fibrous in nature (wood, concrete, upholster, etc), mold growth can lead to destruction. It creates unsightly black spots on whatever it’s growing on, but the damage is more than just cosmetic; it can damage the structural integrity of your property. In severe cases, mold growth can cause walls, ceilings, and floors to collapse. Mold isn’t just harmful to your property; it’s also harmful to your health. As mentioned, mold spreads by releasing spores into the air, disrupting indoor air quality. If there is a high volume of spores in the air, exposure to them can cause a number of adverse effects; respiratory infections, allergic reactions, cold-like symptoms, and even mood changes.

Is Mold Common in Los Angeles?

Los Angeles is famous for many things: Venice Beach, Hollywood, Disneyland, the La Brea Tar Pits, and so much more. There’s also something that LA is infamous for: mold. Because Los Angeles is in such close proximity to so much water and since mold thrives in moist conditions, it can be found throughout the city; not only in outdoor spaces, but indoors, as well.

Where Does Mold Grow in Los Angeles?

Mold can grow anywhere moisture is present. Some of the most common locations where indoor mold growth occurs in Los Angeles include:
• Basements
• Bathrooms
• Attics
• Window casements
• Walls
• Ceilings
• Kitchens
• Around plumbing pipes
• Underneath and behind appliances that contain water
• Gutters and awnings
• Eves and overhangs
• Porches
• Patios
• HVAC vents
• Between tiles
Mold can also grow in areas where you might not expect to find it, such as underneath carpeting, behind wallpaper, and inside insulation.

What Are The Signs Of Indoor Mold Growth?

Some of the signs that are associated with indoor mold growth are apparent, but many aren’t so obvious. If you are experiencing any of the following, there’s a good chance your home or business has fallen victim to mold:
• Black spots in moisture-prone areas
• A musty odor
• Peeling wallpaper
• Bubbling sheetrock
• Warped wood
• Corroded metal
• Cold-like symptoms that subside when leaving the property; stuffy/runny nose, itchy/watery eyes, coughing, wheezing, sore throat, etc
• Persistent headaches

Why Is Professional Mold Removal Important?

If you suspect your property has been affected by mold growth, contacting a professional mold removal company is crucial. Why? – Because DIY attempts usually aren’t effective, which means the problem will continue to spread. Additionally, often, detecting the signs of mold growth can be difficult. Usually, when the above-mentioned signs appear, the mold growth has already reached severe levels. Therefore, even if you don’t notice any signs, it’s a good idea to schedule an appointment for a professional mold inspection. Mold could be growing on your property and you may not even realize it. A thorough assessment of your property will reveal the presence of mold, even if there aren’t any noticeable signs.
