Mold Growth – A Pestilence for Homes

Mold - Mildew

Mold is often referred to as mildew in common English language parlance. It is one of the most common and extensively growing fungi. It has been noticed that a large number of species of fungus have proved to be beneficial to the existence of human beings since a few edible mushrooms often form a healthy and delicious food. There are several life saving drugs and medicines that are manufactured in the pharmaceutical industry that use a large variety of fungi. In the food processing industry, one of the most well known fungi, yeast is used for fermentation purposes.

Mold – A Pestilence

Apart from the beneficial aspects of fungi, one of the most damaging types of fungi is the extensive existence of mold. Mold is often observed to be growing on foodstuffs and resulting in their becoming rotten and completely decayed. Any foodstuff that is attacked by mold is unhealthy for consumption. Mold is essentially a type of a fungus that multiplies at an extremely rapid pace through spores which are carried through various carriers such as wind and water.

Mold proves to be one of the most devastating growths once it invades the interiors of homes and is considered to a widespread pestilence. Most of the houses are stricken with the growth of mold which generally thrives in humid and damp environments. Apart from the dank atmosphere, moisture plays a pivotal role in the growth of mold. Some of the most vulnerable places in a house are poorly ventilated rooms where there lack of sunlight and fresh air, such as, attics, bathrooms, basement areas and nooks and crannies of kitchens.

Remedial Steps

One of the most significant steps that are required to be taken is mold inspection followed by mold removal. Mold inspection involves checking and testing areas where mold may have intruded and the extent to which it has damaged the areas. Once the inspection of the mold growth is completed, mold removal is the next step that involves removal of the mold from the affected areas.
