What is Mold?
Mold is neither a plant nor an animal. It’s a microorganism that’s an essential part of the fungi kingdom. Mold helps in the decomposition of dead organic matter. The tiny mold spores thrive best in damp and warm environmental conditions. The microscopic mold spores reproduce as they travel through the air and attach themselves to surfaces like flooring, drywall, furniture and other things within your home. Even if a single mold spore enters your house, it can easily multiply to thousands in humid surroundings such as crawlspaces, toilets and basements.
What Causes Mold?
Mold spores can easily grow in any dark and humid environment. Listed below are some common causes that can trigger mold growth:
- Sewage Backups or Plumbing Leaks: An ignored plumbing leak in your basement is a serious threat. The consistent water leaks and the dark environment makes your basement an ideal habitat for mold.Moreover, unclean sewage systems also attract mold spores.
- Broken Drainage: If the excess water isn’t drained properly, the standing water can develop mold spores easily within 48 to 72 hours.
- No Ventilation: Rooms that produce moisture should be properly ventilated. From the kitchen’s steam to the leaky air ducts all humid surfaces are vulnerable to mold spores.
- Leaking Roofs: Moisture can easily seep into your property’s ceilings from holes in the roof, old shingles or broken gutters.
If you have detected any of the aforementioned issues, call our experts at STOP Restoration of Port St. Lucie for a free mold inspection.
