Mold and mildew growth are a few of the most common problems that homeowners face in their
houses. In scientific terms, mold is a type of fungus that grows in damp conditions and helps in the
degradation and decaying process of any substances. If it grows in homes, it could be highly unsafe for
the people residing there as it releases toxic and harmful particles in the air.
Below is a list of some problems that you may face if you do not ensure timely mold removal and put a
halt on the growth of this deadly fungus.
If mold remediation is not performed on time, the contamination can take monstrous form,
leading to different sorts of illnesses and health issues including breathing problems, allergies,
asthma attacks, skin infections and rashes, and even cancer. Minors, infants and the elderly are
particularly vulnerable to the harmful effects of mold.
In addition to these health problems, exposure to mold can also cause structural damage to
houses, which then require expensive and major renovations. In the long run, this can result in
huge expenses.
Regular cleaning of your house does not necessarily ensure that the mold has been removed. For this
reason, every homeowner should get in touch with a professional mold removal service provider, who
will use the latest technology and equipment to detect the presence of mold inside your house and
give you a clear picture of mold presence in your house.
In addition to this, mold professionals will also find the source of the mold growth (which is usually
some type of moisture problem). Once the source has been identified, the experts will provide
comprehensive mold removal Ottawa services to make sure that not a single trace of any toxin is left
inside the house. Various advanced equipment (including air sampling pumps, particle counters, HEPA
vacuums and infrared cameras) are used to detect and remove fungi.
Another great service that mold removal agencies provide is that they check the quality of the air
inside your house to identify any toxins (such as radon, asbestos and VOCs) present in the air. Regular
air testing, purification and mold removal services ensure that you breathe fresh, clean and healthy air
and stay disease free.
Let us now have a look at the major aspects that provide ideal conditions for this fungus to grow.
Molds are micro‐organisms that are typically so small that they are not visible to the naked eye. But if
you know the common locations and signs of mold growth, you can avoid major damage before it
even starts. Basements, bathrooms, kitchens, attics and crawlspaces are some of the most common
places in a home where mold breeds. It can also hide behind wall paintings, carpets, furniture, plants,
fabrics and food. Places that are damp, moist and lack proper ventilation provide the ideal conditions

To prevent mildew from growing out of control in your house, you should regular check your
basement, pipes and foundation to ensure that there are no cracks or leaks (which could cause
moisture intrusion and eventually lead to fungal growth). For a healthy house, try to find a reputable
mold remediation agency and get regular inspections and air quality testing.
Summary – The best thing to do to avoid health problems and structural damage to your home is to
take preventative steps against mold growth. As the saying goes, precaution is the best medicine. With
that said, it is a good idea to get in touch with a professional mold inspection and mold removal
company for regular testing and maintenance.
