Can Mold Become a Problem In My Commercial Building?

Molds will grow and multiply whenever conditions are right-sufficient moisture is available and organic material is present.  Be on the lookout in your home for common sources of indoor moisture that may lead to mold problems:

Ø       Flooding

Ø       Leaky roofs

Ø       Sprinkler spray hitting the house                          

Ø       Plumbing leaks

Ø       Overflow from sinks or sewers

Ø       Damp basement or crawl space

Ø       Steam from shower or cooking

Ø       Humidifiers

Ø       Wet clothes drying indoors or clothes dryers exhausting indoors

Warping floors or discoloration of walls and ceiling can be indications of moisture problems.  Condensation on windows or walls is also an important indication, but it can sometimes be caused by in indoor combustion problem!  Have fuel-burning appliances routinely inspected by your local utility or a professional heating contractor.

Should I Be Concerned About Mold in My Home?

Yes, if indoor mold contamination is extensive, it can cause very high and persistent airborne spore exposures.  Persons exposed to high spore levels can become sensitized and develop allergies to the mold or other health problems.  Mold growth can damage your furnishings, such as carpets, sofas and cabinets.  Clothes and shoes in damp closets can become soiled.  In time, unchecked mold growth can cause serious damage to the structural elements in your home.

What Symptoms Are Commonly Seen With Mold Exposure?

Exposure to mold is not healthy for anyone inside buildings.  Therefore, it is always best to identify and correct high moisture conditions quickly before mold grows and health problems develop.

Some people may have more severe symptoms or become ill more rapidly than others:

Ø       Individuals with existing respiratory conditions, such as allergies, chemical sensitivities, or asthma.

Ø       Persons with weakened immune systems (such as people with HIV infection, cancer chemotherapy patients, and so forth).

Ø       Infants and young children

Ø       The elderly

Anyone with health problems they believe are due to mold should consult a medical professional.
