Mold Information
Mold is present everywhere, indoors and outdoors. If there is sustained indoor mold growth, the risk of property damage and health related problems increase.
Mold requires oxygen, cellulose, and moisture to grow. Most homes are built with materials containing cellulose (wood, ceiling tiles, insulation, carpet, etc.). Your home is Mold Food!
The one element that can be controlled is moisture. By eliminating excess moisture in the home the likelihood of sustained mold growth decreases exponentially.
If you find mold in your home or suspect you may have a mold growth problem, call 770-205-1710 or email HealthyAir for a Mold Remediation Consultation by a Certifield Mold Remediation Specialist.
