What is mold?

We have probably all encountered mold at one time or another. It might have been in the shower, or on a stale piece of bread or cheese.

There are many different species of mold, but all molds share some common characteristics:

• Molds thrive in moist and humid environments
• Molds require organic food source. One common food source is cellulose, which is found in building materials such as wood and drywall.
• Molds are spread by microscopic airborne particles called "spores".

Molds and mold spores are naturally present in the outdoor environment all around us. However, indoor mold growth can become tenacious problem. Mold spread rapidly and produces an unpleasant musty odor. If allowed to grow unchecked, mold can cause discoloration and structural damage to building materials. A significant amount of mold can impact indoor air quality and can be difficult and costly to remove. Mold contamination is a growing concern for many homeowners, property managers, insurance providers and restoration companies.
