Molds are undesirable when they grow where we don’t want them, such as in homes. Over 270 species of mold have been identified as living in new jersey homes. Molds that grow inside may be different from the ones found outdoors.

Where to Look for Mold
Mold grows on organic materials, such as paper, dirt, wood and soap scum. Mold grows on moist materials, so mold growth is likely in areas wet by water leaks, flooding, humidity levels above about 70 percent and condensation. Any flooded area that was not completely dried within about one day is likely to have mold growth. Walls need to be opened and rapidly dried to prevent mold growth. Any area that is stained from water should be examined for mold growth. Peeling paint may be an indication of wet walls.

Moisture seeping through concrete walls and floors will cause moist conditions likely to cause mold growth on or in walls, carpeting and materials stored in the basement. Mold often grows under cabinets, behind base-boards, inside walls, in carpet padding and under vinyl wall coverings.

An unvented clothes dryer creates a very humid, warm environment conducive to mold growth. Closets may have mold growth if clothing is damp or if there is a cool outside wall in the closet. Also, there is a chance mold might be growing behind furniture, particularly against an outside wall.

Mold will not normally be found in furnace or air-conditioning ducts unless they were flooded because the heated or air-conditioned air is very dry.

Moisture coming through a basement floor or wall may deposit a light-colored salt and other minerals that are sometimes thought to be mold. The deposits should quickly dissolve and disappear when wet with water if they are a salt.

Air Cleaners
Air cleaners will not solve a mold problem. A high-efficiency air filter that removes mold spores may reduce the number of spores in the air, but mold spores rapidly settle onto surfaces, such as the floor, where air filters cannot remove them. Filters may reduce the number of mold spores in the air but are not substitutes for removing the mold. Air cleaners that produce ozone are not effective at eliminating mold. Ozone is a lung irritant that should not be in an occupied space.

Exposure to mold
Exposure to mold can cause cold-like symptoms, respiratory problems, nasal and sinus congestion, watery eyes, sore throat, coughing and skin irritations, and can trigger asthma attacks. Because some mold spores are very small and can easily be breathed deeply into the lungs, it is not safe to live in houses with high mold levels. Exposure to high mold spore levels can cause development of an allergy to mold. People can react to mold whether it is living or dead.

Everyone should minimize their exposure to mold. Children, the elderly, pregnant women and people with existing respiratory sensitivities are at higher risk for adverse health effects from mold. Some people are affected when exposed to very little mold, while others may show no adverse health symptoms when exposed to mold.

If you can smell a musty odor or see mold, you have a mold problem. Reliable sampling for mold can be expensive since it requires special equipment and training. Testing is not generally recommended as a first step.

What Preventative Measures Can You Take To Protect Yourself Against Mold?
To help control mold allergies, you can:
Reduce indoor humidty below 50% - this can be achieved by your properly controlled air conditioner- Call and ask us!
Use exhaust fans in bathrooms to reduce the humidity levels.
Use mold-killing solutions in bathrooms and shower stalls, on bathroom tiles, shower curtains, around the bathtub and toilet tank.
Use paint with a mold inhibitor, or add a mold inhibitor to standard paint for use in baths.
Replace bathroom carpets with tile or linoleum.
Wash shower curtains monthly, with detergent and chlorine bleach.
Check tree bark for mold before using it in a home fireplace or wood-burning stove.
Use a chemical moisture remover in closets.
Never put away wet shoes or clothing.
Use exhaust fans in the kitchen to remove cooking steam and food vapors.
Repair all water leaks promptly.
Use a dehumidifier to keep the relative humidity below 40 percent to deter mold growth.
Have Air Condiditoning and Heating ductwork cleaned annually
Install a high-performance electrostatic filter in your central air conditioning and heating system to trap mold spores and inhibit mold.
Never put damp clothing in closets or drawers.
Have AC coolant levels checked, on indoor units, to prevent condensation accumulating when coolant levels get low.
