Molds are microscopic organisms that live on plant or animal matter. They aid in the break down of dead material and recycle nutrients in the environment. Present virtually everywhere, they can be found growing on organic material such as soil, foods, and plant matter. To reproduce, molds produce spores, which spread through air, water or by insects. These spores act like seeds and can form new mold growth if the conditions are right.
Mold growth may occur as a result of a loss that has happened in your home that has caused a sufficient of moisture. Some of the most common sources of moisture are:
- Shower and bath steam
- Condensation
- Humidifiers
- Wet clothes
- Improper ventilation
- Flooding
- Roof leaks
- Plumbing leaks
- Drainage problems
- Damp basements
In addition to causing damage to your home, exposure to mold can cause health problems for some people. The most common effects are allergic responses from breathing mold spores. These allergic responses resemble hay fever or asthma and irritation of the eyes, nose, throat or lungs. It is difficult say how much mold is too much as our reactions to allergens can vary greatly depending on individual sensitivity. Allergic responses can come from exposure to dead as well as to living mold spores. Therefore, killing mold with bleach and or other disinfectants may not prevent allergic responses.
