Mold can grow anywhere moisture is present. If mold starts to grow indoors, it can be unsightly, can cause structural problems, and cause health effects in susceptible people. If you suspect mold contamination and buildup, PuroClean Linwood will provide expert mold cleanup before mold becomes a real issue.
Why Can Mold Be a Common Concern in North Carolina?
North Carolina is home to several major rivers and lakes, and the Atlantic Ocean borders the east. These bodies of water contribute to North Carolina’s high humidity, seasonal rainfall, and occasional flooding, all of which create an ideal environment for mold growth. Common causes of mold are:
- Leaks from roofs or damaged pipes
- High humidity due to rivers and lakes
- Poor ventilation indoors
- Neglected crawlspaces, attics and basements
Ignoring mold growth or slow action can cause breathing issues, indoor allergies and headaches, and damage to the integrity of your property. As soon as you suspect mold, you should call PuroClean for a mold inspection.
Signs You Need Professional Mold Cleanup
A musty odor, visible growth, or unresolved water damage can warrant a professional mold assessment. Health symptoms have many causes and should be discussed with a healthcare professional.
Why DIY Mold Cleanup is Risky
Whether DIY cleanup is appropriate depends on the area, materials, water source, and occupants’ health. Small mold areas on hard surfaces may be manageable with suitable precautions. Extensive growth, contaminated water, or HVAC involvement calls for professional assessment. No cleanup can guarantee mold will never return if moisture recurs.
