Mold
Mold is often associated with high moisture conditions such as water damage. Molds are simple, microscopic fungi that live off of dead organic material. There are more than 100,000 species normally found in indoor and outdoor environments. However, when conditions are favorable, mold can grow on wood, drywall, ceiling tiles, and other cellulose based materials commonly found in homes. When mold growth reaches an “abnormal” level in indoor environments, the potential for problems increases. Many people experience adverse health effects from exposure to mold and the toxins they produce. The solution to the problem is to take away the favorable growth conditions and remove the mold.

material
