Leading Mold Prevention and Removal in Lexington, Kentucky

Did you know that mold growth can pose a serious health risk to your home and family?

One of the top reasons why people  decide to invest in basement waterproofing for their homes is to prevent mold growth.  A wet or damp basement can serve as  breeding ground for mold spores which can easily get out of hand. Mold spores pose as serious health hazards because they can easily agitate a wide range of health problems such as congestion, headache, allergic reactions, asthma attacks and can sometimes even cause difficulties in breathing. Some mold spores are also toxic and are a cause for major concern!
We know how bad mold growth can get in any home because we have been removing and preventing mold growth in basements and crawl spaces for more than two decades now. More than proving effective in stopping water seepage and moisture problems (an important factor in mold growth), we are also efficient in removing any existing growths. We offer our services to the area of Lexington, Kentucky.

What is mold and why you don’t want it in your home.

Mold is a fungus, and like any fungi, it thrives in dark and damp environments. Simply put, without moisture, there will be no mold growth. An example of mold is mildew, a musty smelling fungus that can infect the air around it.

When mold growth occurs in a home, it typically starts in the basement because this is the area that is prone to moisture and is kept away from sunlight. With enough mold growth, its spores can spread throughout the rest of the house.

Mold growth is one of the leading problems that come with a wet or damp basement or crawl space. It will grow on practically anything organic, from wood and carpeting to drywall and clothing.

Should you be concerned with mold in your home?

Mold can grow on a lot of surfaces in your home, but with regular cleaning, it isn’t likely to turn into a problem in the areas of your house other than the basement. Fungi don’t thrive in spaces where there is an abundance of sunlight which means that it will love your basement or crawl space. However, if there is enough mold growth in your subsoil rooms, the spores can travel up to other parts of the house which makes it possible for you to inhale them. These spores can even give off foul odors that will make the other levels of your house difficult to live in.

Other than noxious odors, mold can also cause rotting and damage the wood in your home. Mold is definitely something that you will want to protect yourself against.

Give your family a dry, healthy and comfortable living environment by keeping your home mold free!
