Mold Removal NYC
Mold is a common indoor concern among homeowners and property owners. It seems to be a more common problem now. More than 20 years ago, this was a rare concern. One reason could be that fewer people are paying attention to regular home upkeep, because they spend much of their time on work. A more compelling reason is the requirement to seal indoor air, an activity that has an inherent flaw of trapping air contaminants indoors.
As you turn on your heating and cooling system, you will only re-distribute the particulates, which at some point reaches a threshold, and that’s when you start getting flu-like symptoms, allergies, and even dermatitis.
This is not to say that HVAC systems are to be blamed. No! These systems keep us comfortable whatever the weather is. It’s just that as we seal our homes and buildings, there should be more effort to do maintenance, inspection, and cleaning.
Mold should never be a problem if you keep your environment clean and dry. Right now, mold spores float in the air. These spores thrive on dust particles, which provide them nutrients. The only thing these spores wait to finally grow and wreak havoc is moisture.
The best way to prevent mold contamination is to keep your air dry. Recommended relative humidity indoors is 30-50%. Mold infestation can start to occur when the relative humidity reaches 60%. Take note that it doesn’t have to take a plumbing leak or rainwater intrusion for mold to grow. Even a clogged dryer vent can cause moisture buildup that leads to mold growth.

MOLD REMEDIATION/RESTORATION
Why do you need to remove mold? The common reason people like to get rid of mold once it is discovered is to restore the good appearance of a room. Let’s face it. Mold is unsightly in the first place. It is hideous, and it makes walls look gruesome. For property owners who rent out space or sell property, mold thriving on walls or ceilings seriously devalue the property. Home buyers or lessees don’t wish to live in a moldy place, let alone clean the filth or pay professional mold cleaners.
Another reason why people clean moldy walls and ceilings is to remove that unpleasant musty odor. You don’t have to actually see mold to realize its presence. Its ugly smell is enough to suggest it could be lurking somewhere. In many cases, mold grows in hidden spaces, making your indoor air dirty on the sly.
Mold also causes decay of organic material. If it is growing on wood or wallpaper, expect deterioration of the wood or wallpaper after a while. Hence, you must remove mold as soon as possible, as soon as you discover it. This is the only way to control the damage it can cause.
A few people suffer from asthma when exposed to mold spores. Asthma is just one of the allergic reactions sensitive people experience when exposed to mold spores, pollen, dander, and dust mites. If you have someone in the family who is prone to allergies, it’s vital that you keep your house free of mold.
