Mold Mildew Removal Tacoma Gig Harbor Puyallup

Molds are small organisms found almost everywhere, inside and outside the home. They can be found on plants, foods and dry leaves. They can be almost any color: white, orange, green or black. Molds are beneficial to the environment and are needed to break down dead material, however they can be very bad for humans and our pets. Very tiny and lightweight, mold spores travel easily through the air. Like plants, molds need moisture to grow. A dripping drain, a wet basement, a leaking roof, ceiling, or faucet can all contribute to mold growth. Carpet that was once wet and never dried properly or treated can be a great source for mold.

Most building surfaces can provide adequate nutrients to support the growth of mold. When mold spores land on material that is damp for example, walls, floors, appliances (such as humidifiers or air conditioners), carpet or furniture - they can begin to multiply. When molds are present in large numbers, they may cause allergic symptoms similar to those caused by plant pollen . . . and what's worse, they can make people sick.
