Here’s some helpful information that outlines the dangers of mold, why it is such a problem in San Diego, and what needs to be done to remove it.

Where does Mold Grow in San Diego?

Mold grows virtually everywhere in San Diego. It’s a fungus, of which there are various strains, and each type thrives in damp, warm conditions. The San Diego Bay, the San Diego River, Lake Murray, Lake Hodges, the El Capitan Reservoir… the city of San Diego is surrounded by water. The climate here also tends to be warm and humid. All of these factors combined make San Diego the perfect environment for mold. Mold exists in outdoor spaces. To reproduce, it releases spores into the air, and those spores can easily make their way indoors. Whenever you open your windows or doors, run your HVAC system, or even go outside and come back in, mold spores can travel inside. Once those spores are present inside your home or office, they settle on surfaces and wait for the perfect conditions to arrive: moisture. It doesn’t take a lot of moisture; all you need is a little bit of humidity and those mold spores will begin growing and spreading to other parts of your property. Mold grows on fibrous materials, which is virtually everything used in commercial and residential spaces; wood, concrete, siding, carpeting, furniture, linens, wallpaper… the list goes on and on. You can find mold pretty much anywhere moisture exists in your indoor space, including:
• Walls
• Floors
• Ceilings
• Bathrooms
• Basements
• Kitchens
• Attics
• Crawlspaces
• Decks
• Patios
• Porches
• Pool surrounds
• Eaves
• Overhangs
• Windows
• Doors
Mold can even hide in areas where you might least expect it; underneath wallpaper, inside the fibers of your carpets and rugs, in the back of closets and cabinets, in insulation…

Is Mold Really Dangerous?

We are asked this question all the time, and we can’t stress it enough: Yes; mold can be extremely dangerous! As it feeds on the surfaces it settles on, it can leave excessive damage in its wake. The longer it’s present, the worse the damage becomes. It can take a strong hold deep into the interior of your walls, studs, floors, and whatever else it may be growing on. We’ve seen properties that have been completely decimated by mold growth throughout San Diego! There’s another serious concern that’s associated with mold, and that’s your health. Mold spores are airborne, which means that you can inhale them and they can land on your skin. Breathing in mold spores, as you can probably imagine, can have adverse effects on your health. It can cause numerous complications, including chronic respiratory problems, fungal and bacterial infections, and in the most extreme cases, it can even cause mold poisoning. Molds also increase allergic reactions in people who have allergies and can cause unpleasant cold-like symptoms in people who are otherwise healthy.

What are the Signs of Mold in San Diego?

Some of the obvious signs of mold growth include:
• Discolored spots on surfaces throughout your property
• A musty odor
• Bubbling walls
• Warping wood
• Squishy floors
• Corroded metal
• Nasal congestion
• Frequent headaches
• Itchy skin
• Watery eyes
• Coughing
• Sore throat
• Wheezing
• Fever
• Fatigue
• Body aches
• A general feeling of being unwell
If you notice any of these signs, you need to contact a mold remediation expert as soon as possible. However, it’s important to note that you mold growth doesn’t always show signs; it often lurks behind walls, floors, and other inconspicuous locations, totally unbeknownst to property owners until it becomes a massive problem. For that reason, it’s a good idea to schedule routine mold assessments with a professional mold removal company; you can never be too safe!
