Mold in your home

Mold is a type of fungus that grows in warm, damp places. It can affect the health of people and animals as well as damage certain materials. Mold can be found almost anywhere, including homes, schools and offices.

The presence of mold is usually indicated by a musty odor, discoloration and black spots on walls, ceilings or carpets. The most common types of mold that affect homes are Cladosporium, Aspergillus and Penicillium.

Mold spores are microscopic and float through the air. When they land on a damp surface, they begin growing into colonies that produce mycotoxins (toxic substances produced by some molds). If you suspect you have an infestation of mold in your home or building, call us right away to schedule an inspection!

Here is what to do: 

• Keep humidity levels in your home as low as you can—no higher than 50%–all day long. …
• Be sure the air in your home flows freely. …
• Fix any leaks in your home’s roof, walls, or plumbing so mold does not have moisture to grow.
• Open windows and doors to provide fresh air regularly
