When you have water damage in your home, whether from a leaky pipe, damage to your roof, or a damaged foundation leading to flooding, the cleanup process is extremely important. If you do not remove all the moisture from your home promptly, you may end up with a mold problem that can compromise both your home and your health. Having a mold inspection in your Sandy Springs home can help you know whether you need to remediate further. Understanding Mold Growth Mold is a pesky fungus that is nearly impossible to prevent in certain situations. There are 3 ingredients necessary for mold to thrive: mold spores to start the colony, moisture, and food. The obvious start would be to eliminate all mold spores from your home, only these microscopic fungi are ubiquitous, meaning they are present everywhere. It is not a mold spore that causes problems; instead, it is the overgrowth of mold spores that causes serious damage and health issues. Keeping them at bay is the key. Next would be the issue of removing their food sources. Unfortunately, it is impossible to completely get rid of the food mold grows on. Any organic material present serves as a veritable buffet for these tiny spores that are ever-present in your home. That leaves you with eliminating moisture, which you have failed at in the presence of any water damage or flooding in your home. Preventing and Eliminating Mold Overgrowth Understanding that mold spores are ever-present in your home, that you cannot eliminate the organic sources of food for them, and that moisture control is the only way to keep an overgrowth at bay is a great start to preventing and eliminating mold overgrowth. Once you have identified a moisture problem, you will need to have a mold inspection in your Sandy Springs home to ensure that the water cleanup does not need to include mold remediation.
