Don't Welcome Mold Into Your Home or Business
You may not know it, but there are thousands of different types of mold in the world. Molds are different types of fungi that get energy and spread from the matter upon which they feed. Mold in a home or any other building is often an unwelcome site because it can cause serious health problems.
Molds need moisture to grow, and we all know that in the Bay Area, there is no shortage of moisture, making mold damage very common. In fact, the United States EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) sates that “The key to mold control is moisture control”.
The fact that molds get their energy from the organic matter they reside on means that they are essentially eating that material, whether it’s wood, plaster, carpets or any number of common building materials. When mold has damaged a building, there can be significant health concerns, and the process of restoration must begin.
In addition, if a rental property develops a mold problem, in some cities in the bay area (notably San Francisco) the landlord can be held liable and be sued for problems caused by mold and mold damage on a property. No one wants excessive mold in a building, and landlords have a responsibility to keep a building habitable and do mold damage restoration.
Now that you know a bit more about molds and how they form, mold damage restoration is the next step in the process.
