What Is Mold?
Moisture is a key factor for the growth of mold, which is a type of fungus that occurs naturally both indoors and outdoors. If you detect a strong musty odor, it is a sign that action needs to be taken promptly. While it is impossible to eradicate mold completely from your home, it can be managed.
Mold can enter your home through various sources such as open windows, doors, and HVAC systems. Once inside, mold spores can rapidly develop into a severe problem if they are exposed to moisture. This can compromise the air quality and pose health risks. Before any remediation can commence, it is crucial to identify the root cause of the mold growth; otherwise, it may recur quickly.
