MOLD REMOVAL in PORTLAND, OR
Mold Remediation Near You
Mold spores are everywhere and unavoidable. Very much like dust and pollen, if they are given the right conditions, an infestation can develop very quickly and with very little effort. For mold to grow, certain conditions need to be met: an area with high humidity, moisture, a dark environment, and a food source. Whether you are in a business or commercial setting, in many mold infestation cases, the cause is some form of water damage, such as a leak behind a wall, under the flooring, or in the ceiling that goes unnoticed.

The Dangers Of DIY Mold Removal
To effectively eliminate mold, it has to be removed methodically. Simply wiping away a mold growth with an all-purpose cleaner will not work. This will simply agitate the growth causing it to release its spores into the air, which can generate new growths in other areas. Mold will not only damage structures, but it can also create several adverse health effects making it very dangerous. If mold is present for a prolonged period of time, the exposure to it and its spores could endanger the health of children, adults, the elderly, and pets causing serious complications such as breathing difficulties, severe allergic reactions, and even illnesses.
Common Signs of Mold
When it comes to a mold problem, you will typically see it or smell it. But here are some more telltale signs of mold to look out for:
- Musty odor that doesn't dissipate or gets worse
- Black and or brown spots on surfaces like the ceiling, walls, floors etc.
- High humidity in the home causes condensation to form on various surfaces
