MOLD IN YOUR HOME CAN BE DEVASTATING AND DISRUPTIVE TO YOUR LIFE. WE KNOW THAT AND WE HELP YOU GET BACK TO NORMAL FAST!
Water damage is the most common reason for a mold infestation in homes. Floods, leaks and long term moisture result in mold becoming a genuine concern, and without immediate attention, a sure thing.
In Hawaii, high humidity creates an ideal breeding ground for mold. A well ventilated home is the best defense against mold.
Mold is everywhere but you never want to see it in your house.
There are some things you can do to test for mold by doing routine maintenance checks.
Mold is a type of fungus that grows from tiny spores that float in the air.
It can grow almost anywhere that spores land and find moisture and a comfortable temperature, somewhere between 40 and 100 degrees Fahrenheit, a range that Oahu stays in 100% of the time. That means mold is always in a temperature range that encourages growth locally.
You can easily spot the most visible type of mold, called mildew, which begins as tiny, usually black spots but often grows into larger colonies.
It's one simple way to tell if you have mold. It's the black stuff you see in the grout lines in your shower, on damp walls, and outdoors on the surfaces of deck boards and painted siding, especially in damp, shady areas.
A mildewed surface is often difficult to distinguish from a dirty one.
To test for mold and mildew
and how to tell if your house has mold, simply dab a few drops of household bleach on the blackened area. If it lightens after one to two minutes, you have mildew. If the area remains dark, you probably have dirt.
KNOW THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MILDEW AND MOLD
There are thousands of different types of mold and mildew, but they all share two things in common: The first is that their mission on Earth is to digest the organic world around them. The second is that they need moisture so their digestive enzymes can work properly. Molds are neither plants or animals. They're tiny organisms containing enzymes (responsible for digesting and decomposing) and spores (in charge of reproduction). Mold is part of the fungi kingdom which includes mushrooms, yeast and other seemingly unsavory characters. These decay organisms actually serve a vital purpose. They decompose fallen trees and dead animals. Without them our world would be piled high with dead stuff. We wouldn't have foods and medicines like cheese and penicillin. The problems arise when mold starts chomping away at things we don't want them to—like the look, smell and structural integrity of your home.
Mold in your home can pose serious health risks, but unfortunately many don’t realize they have a mold problem because they don’t know the telltale signs. Let’s talk a little about mold warning signs as it relates to your health and the structural integrity of your home.
MOLD WARNING SIGNS IN YOUR HOME
Mold in the home is dangerous, as you’ve just read. But luckily, it’s usually easy to spot when you know what to look for. Below are key warning signs that you might have mold in your home.
- Mold odor. Many molds produce an odor. If you smell a persistent musty odor, then there might be mold in your home.
- Visible signs of mold growth. Some molds might appear white and thread-like. Others appear in clusters made up of small back spots. Mold can be gray-brown, black, gray-green, or white. Mold that grows behind vinyl and wallpaper might be orange, pink, or purple.
- Signs of water damage. Any long-term moisture will inevitably lead to mold. If your home has water stains, discoloration on walls, floor, or ceilings, of if you notice bubbling, cracking, or peeling paint or wallpaper, then you’re likely dealing with mold-producing problems.
- Water leaks. Mold growth from leaks isn’t always noticeable, especially if the leak is behind a wall or other hidden surface. If you know of a leak, then it’s important to get it repaired quickly (535plumbing.com). Areas where condensation forms can also be a haven for mold, including windows and metal pipes.
- Past flooding. If your home has experienced any flooding in the past, then it’s very likely that you have some form of mold growth.
Mold in the home can be severely damaging to your house and your health. If you think your home might have a mold problem, seek a professional mold inspection right away. Urgent Island Restoration offers safe, affordable, fast, and effective mold inspection and treatment on Oahu.
