Since the public has become more aware of indoor air quality issues, building managers and maintenance personnel face an increasing number of concerns regarding mold growth within their facilities. With the change in construction practices over the past 25 years, buildings, schools, and residential homes are prone to moisture buildup and the growth of mold. Molds can cause allergic reactions and asthma problems. Mold also gradually destroys building materials that it grows on.

The key to mold control is to identify and control the source of moisture then remediation mold growth that is present. The best remediation begins within 48 hours of water damage, however if mold has grown unnoticed for a long period of time, more intense methods of removal will be required. Whether mold is dead or alive it can cause indoor air quality problems, so it is important to not just “kill” mold but decontaminate the area as well.
