Why is Mold Growing in my Thomasville Home?

10/25/2021 (Permalink)

Mold is a part of our environment. It is nature’s composter breaking down dead organic materials such as trees and leaves. The problem arises when mold begins to colonize indoors. This usually happens whenever there is moisture present. If mold colonizes indoors, it will start to break down the organic building materials in your home such as drywall and subfloors. While doing that, the mold will produce allergens and a potentially toxic substance called mycotoxins. These substances can affect people differently, so remediation is critical in maintaining a healthy home environment.
