What Makes Mold Dangerous?
Mold is a fungus that feeds on organic matter and fibrous materials. In nature, it’s actually quite beneficial; mold aides in the decomposition dead or dying flora and fauna, which then allows the nutrients that those materials carry into the ground, leaving behind fertile soil.
While mold is plays a vital part in our ecosystem, it can wreak havoc in your home or business. Because it feeds on fibrous materials – and since most materials used to construct and furnish commercial and residential properties are fibrous – it can leave behind extensive damage in its wake. In fact, mold is responsible for causing millions of dollars in property damages in the Tampa area each year!
Not only is mold dangerous for your property, but it’s also hazardous to your health. Exposure to mold spores can cause a number of health complications. While people who suffer from allergies, chronic respiratory issues, such as asthma and COPD, and who have compromised immune systems are most at-risk for developing mold-related complications, anyone can be affected. Breathing in and making physical contact with mold spores can cause the following side effects:
• Chronic coughing
• Wheezing
• Difficulty breathing
• Nasal congestion
• Chronic sinusitis
• Itchy and irritated skin
• Red, watery eyes
• Sore throat
• Headaches
• Fever
• Fatigue
• Mood changes
• Fungal and bacterial infections
In the most severe cases, mold poisoning, a condition that can cause chronic and crippling effects, can occur.
How does Indoor Mold Growth Occur?
Tampa is surrounded by water and the city’s climate is warm and humid. Since mold thrives in warm, moist conditions, Tampa is the ideal environment for mold.
Indoor mold growth occurs when the spores from outdoor molds travel inside. Molds reproduce by releasing spores into the air, and those spores can make their way into your home or office through any opening – even miniscule cracks and holes – and it can attach to you or your pets while your outside and then come inside.
Once the spores have entered the indoor environment, they continue to spread through the air until they take up residence on a surface or surfaces; your walls, ceiling, floors, furniture, etc. As long as there is moisture present in your home or office, mold spores will begin to grow and spread.
Because mold spreads quickly and since it can cause such extensive property damage and have serious effects on your health, prompt professional treatment is essential. The longer you wait to react, the worse the damage will become; in a matter of just a few days you could be looking at a full-blown mold epidemic!
Where does Mold Grow in Tampa?
Mold grows on anything that’s fibrous (things that are comprised of fibers). Almost everything found inside your home or business is fibrous, so as long as there’s moisture, mold growth can occur virtually anywhere.
Common locations where mold growth occurs include:
• Kitchens
• Bathrooms
• Laundry rooms
• Basements
• Attics
• Roofs
• Foundations
• Eaves
• Overhangs
• Decks
• Porches
• Pool surrounds
• HVAC vents
• Furniture
• Linens
• Carpets
• Rugs
• Floorboards
Causes of Indoor Mold Growth
Indoor mold growth occurs when moisture is introduced into your home. Mold spores are always present in every interior setting; however, they don’t become problematic until they start to grow, and they start to grow when moisture is present.
Situations that can lead to moisture penetration in your property and lead to mold growth include:
• Floods
• Leaks
• Plumbing pipe bursts
• Overflowing toilets, sinks, and tubs
• Poor ventilation
• Ineffective insulation
• Cesspool and septic tank overflows
• Damaged HVAC systems
Essentially, anything that leads to an accumulation of moisture in your home or business can cause mold growth.
When to Contact a Tampa Mold Removal Specialist
You should contact a Tampa mold removal specialists as soon as you notice any signs or symptoms that are indicative of indoor mold growth; if you see visible patches of mold, are suffering from physical ailments, or if there is a lot of moisture present in your residential or commercial property.
There doesn’t need to be signs of mold growth to schedule a mold assessment. Since this problem is so prevalent in Tampa and because the signs aren’t always obvious, it’s a good idea to get in the habit of having routine mold assessments preformed. Early detection is the best way to avoid serious complications, and with mold testing, you can detect and correct mold growth before it becomes a major issue.
