It is known that there are thousands of common species of mold in existence throughout the United States, from the common aspergillus on your loaf of bread to the stachybotrys that can, if allowed to spread, cause mood swings and suppress the human immune system. Most of the time, however, these and many other types of molds simply don't exist in large enough amounts to cause such problems, except perhaps for the severely allergic. They live as adolescent spores, looking for a place to call home and begin their reproductive cycle. Mold will begin to reproduce in environments often supporting the following conditions, such as dampness, darkness, and more or likely, uniformly in places with cool temperatures.
Once a particular type of mold does manage to find an ideal location to breed, however, it can result in a colony: a growth of microscopic organisms which reaches a point where they become collectively visible. Mold reproduces by spores, both sexually and asexually – with many species being capable of either method. This means that once a colony is established, it is extremely easy for it to spread throughout an affected house, apartment building, office building, or other structure – establishing additional colonies elsewhere in the building. Unchecked, a given colony can expand across many square feet, often leaving behind those conditions which are particularly conducive to its early formation – as the organism conveys necessary resources to wherever it needs them to go.
What is Mold Remediation?
There is no such thing as mold extermination or eradication. The simple, fact and truth is that there are spores belonging to thousands of different species of common molds floating through the air around us all the time. Allergies: these spores do not exist in numbers that are substantial enough to affect anyone's health, except for those individuals with the most severe of allergies; this is the state to which we strive to restore an infested location: a healthy, natural equilibrium whereby spores come in through the door and leave by the window… or the other way around.
We specialize in helping mold go away.
"Remediation" is a three-pronged approach to a mold battle strategy. The first thing we will do, at Livingston Leaning Restoration and Cleaning, is to identify the type of mold present in your residential or commercial property. Then, we will clean up any directly treat the affected areas, eliminating viable points of infestation which might otherwise serve to continue making the problem worse. The last step, requires that we work to eliminate sources of those conditions - such as water damage - which provide many species of mold with an ideal environment in which to begin growing a colony in the first place
