If you have noticed a musty odor in your DC home or have seen fuzzy, cottony, and discolored growth on walls, floors, furniture, or ceiling tiles, the first thing that you probably did was to call a mold removal or remediation company. If the service provider is like a lot of other companies, it is highly possible that you have been told that you made the right decision to pay for their services. Before you get into an agreement with them though, you should understand that while professional remediation services is often a worthy investment, there are times wherein you could actually just resolve your mold problems by conducting several DIY methods. You should also know that DC mold inspection services should be first considered prior to removal or remediation of these fungi.
Before we get into the nitty gritty of mold inspections, you should first know more about molds and their seeds, commonly referred to as ‘spores’. Basically, molds are a type of fungi that releases very tiny organisms (their seeds or spores) into the air. Since they are carried by the air wind can easily bring them inside homes and buildings. When these spores land on surfaces that are wet or damp, they will be able to get the nutrients they need to grow and continue spreading. As long as these fungi have something to ‘eat’, they will continue to live. And if allowed to do so, they will eventually eat away at the material that they are growing on. This cycle will be repeated until they are eliminated through DIY removal processes or professional remediation services. If you do not become aware of mold growth until it is too late, your property as well as your health and the well-being of anyone who inhales these spores will be affected negatively. Just so you know, more than 250,000 mold seeds can actually fit onto a very small area with the size of a pin head.
With this being said, you should already realize that regular checking of your home or your commercial property for mold growth should be a part of your priority list. This will help you make certain that your health as well as that of your loved ones or your employees will not be affected by these fungi. In addition, it will also make you feel more at ease knowing that your property, which is one of your biggest investments, will not be ruined and damaged severely.
