Mold Remediation Services in Denver
Introduction
Mold is a harmful, hazardous fungus that thrives in moist, humid areas inside the home. Without proper treatment to remove the moisture that promotes mold growth, you risk long-term health problems and structural deterioration of your home. If you notice mold growing anywhere in your home or business in Colorado, don’t wait—call Alpha Restoration today. The longer you wait the more damage could occur to your home and health.
Dangers of Mold Growth
Mold growth can pose serious health risks, including respiratory issues and allergic reactions. It can also cause significant structural damage to your property. Addressing mold promptly is crucial to protect your home and your family’s health.
Signs of Mold in Your Home
- Visible mold growth: green black or white spotting in floors, walls and/or ceilings
- Musty odors: in your home especially around plumbing (kitchens, bathrooms, utility rooms)
- Increased allergy symptoms: running nose, watering eyes, coughing or respiratory issues
From sights and smells to leaks in plumbing, mold can grow and make its presence felt in various ways. Let’s start with how mold growth happens. Mold growth in your home begins with water. Much like human life, water is the key factor for mold. Whether it is in liquid form or vapor (humidity), your mold problems start with water. It can be something as simple as a small leak under your cabinets and vanities or as severe as a pipe break flooding your home. If water damage is not taken care of quickly and correctly, mold will grow as a result.
When building materials (flooring, drywall, insulation) get wet, they retain moisture until either removed or properly dried out. Don’t be fooled by our dry climate; when water creeps into your home, the environment completely changes. Water brings humidity, and humidity also leads to mold growth. Common places where we find humidity causing mold growth include crawl spaces and bathrooms. Crawl spaces can experience high humidity from standing water (pipe breaks, groundwater), improper ventilation, or lack of a vapor barrier. Humidity will rise and begin to affect the joists, trusses, and subfloor above.
In your bathroom, make sure that your ceiling fan is working properly, is big enough for the space, or if you don’t have one, consider getting one installed. As mentioned earlier, humidity rises, and the lack of a ceiling fan will cause excess humidity to affect the ceiling.
Now let’s talk about what to look for with our senses. Regarding smell, mold has been described as having a mildew-like odor. Another way to describe the smell is earthy, as if you’ve been working in a garden, or it might smell like rain in your home. Visually, mold can appear as white, black, or green spotting. People often think mold can only be black; however, the green and white spotting can be just as hazardous, if not worse, than black mold. Mold often appears fuzzy and can usually be wiped away, but don’t be fooled—simply wiping it away will not rid you of your problem.
Furthermore, mold loves organic materials like wood and paper. Mold will quickly grow on baseboards, the bottom of cabinets, subfloor, framing, and drywall. Look for baseboard caulking coming off the drywall, buckled flooring, or staining on drywall. Ultimately, if you suspect you might have mold growth in your home, do not hesitate to contact us. We will guide you through the process of restoring your home’s health and provide peace of mind.
