Concern about indoor exposure to mold has been increasing as the public
becomes aware that exposure to mold can cause a variety of health
effects and symptoms, including allergic reactions, asthma, and other
respiratory complaints. Some building materials, such as dry wall, plaster
board or wood paneling, may act as vapor barriers, trapping moisture
underneath their surfaces and thereby providing a moist environment where
mold can grow. Investigating hidden mold problems may be difficult and
requires caution when the investigation involves disturbing potential
sites of mold growth. Improper removal can lead to a massive release of
spores.
There are molds that can grow on wood, paper, carpet, and foods. When
excessive moisture or water accumulates indoors, mold growth will often
occur, particularly if the moisture problem remains undiscovered or
un-addressed. There is no practical way to eliminate all mold and mold
spores in the indoor environment; the way to control indoor mold growth is
to control moisture. C.E.S., utilizing environmentally safe products and
procedures, can remediate the mold and remove the excess water or
moisture.
