Mold Removal | Mildew Removal |Mold Remediation
Molds are simple plants belonging to the group known as fungi. Though molds are always present in the air, those that cause mildew need moisture and certain temperatures to grow. They commonly develop in humid summer weather, especially in closed houses. Molds grow on anything from which they can get enough food. They develop most often on cotton, linen, rayon, silk, wool, leather, wood and paper. Many synthetic fibers will resist mildew.
Molds that cause mildew flourish wherever it is damp, warm, poorly lighted and/or where air is not circulated. As the molds grow, they cause considerable damage. They leave a musty odor; they discolor fabrics; and sometimes they eat into them until the fabrics rot and fall to pieces.

Preventing Mold / Mildew
Keep things Clean
Keep closets, dresser drawers, basements — any place where mildew is likely to grow — as clean as possible. Soil on dirty articles can supply enough food for mildew to start growing when moisture and temperature are right.
Dry the Air
Cool air holds less moisture than warm air. Properly installed ac systems remove moisture from the air by taking up warm air, cooling it (which removes moisture) and circulating the cool, dry air back into the room. In rooms that are not air-conditioned (especially the basement) mechanical dehumidifiers are useful.
Get Rid of Dampness
Mold spores are present in the air and may settle onto surfaces if there is sufficient moisture. If you have suffered from any kind of flooding or water damage it is vitally important to be sure you thoroughly dry all surfaces effected.
Odor Removal
Do you have a mildew problem or basement mold that is creating a funky musty odor? Mold will not only create a horrible smell, it can and will cause common and very harmful symptoms such as: headaches, water eyes, coughing, scratchy throat, and blood in the lungs.
