Mold and mildew can start as seemingly small and insignificant, but if left unchecked, can wreak havoc on your home and properties. From structural damage to even health issues, there are a lot of negative effects associated with growing mold and mildew in your space. In this first part, we will begin to discuss the power of mold and mildew and how to take proactive measures to prevent the worst.
First it is important to understand what exactly mold and mildew are and how they are spread. They are both types of fungi that are natural components of the environment, serving to break down other organic matter. The ideal conditions for their growth include moisture, poor ventilation, and warm temperatures. Damp and humid environments are ideal breeding grounds for mold, and they can spread rapidly.
Whether you have a small leak or inadequate ventilation in your home, these seemingly minor things can lead to the quick proliferation of mold in your area. If allowed to spread, it can lead to structural damage such as drywall damage and decay for any wooden structures in your home.
