Cleaning Mold in Chesapeake, VA
Why is there yellow mold growing in your home? Where did it come from, and what do you need to do about it?
What we do know is that mold grows in damp areas like bathrooms, around leaky plumbing, around leaky window frames, in damp basements, or in attics with a leaky roof. Did you know that mold comes in different colors too? Yep, mold can be yellow, white, brown, green, and of course black.
Special care needs to be taken to remove mold even for what may seem to be a simple task. Mold spores spread easily and can become airborne, scattering to other areas of your home, making the mold problem even worse. Even worse, those mold spores when inhaled can cause serious health risks such as an itchy rash, wheezing, and sore throats.
In as little as 48 hours, mold can quickly become a problem in your home or business when there’s a water intrusion, like a roof leak or leaking water line. In addition to health risks, mold can cause property damage.
