MOLD… Literally A Growing Concern

National media attention has alerted the public to the destructive and possibly toxic dangers of hidden mold spores that could affect their family’s health and their homes. EPA studies indicate that air levels of indoor pollutants may be two to three times higher than outdoor levels.  Mold, the most dangerous offender of all, often goes undetected because of its invisibility. In the Bristol County Area, people spend as much as 90% of their time indoors and are not aware of the health hazards created by this pollutant. You owe it to yourself to minimize your exposure to mold spores in the indoor environment by having mold removed from your Attleboro MA home.

    What is Mold?

    Mold is a common problem in the Attleboro Massachusetts 02703 area. Molds are part of the fungal kingdom, which also includes mushrooms, wood rots, and yeasts. Fungal growth usually begins with a fertile fungal spore on a damp, digestible surface. The spore absorbs moisture, then secretes it back out as a liquid solution loaded with digestive enzyme. These enzymes transform the surrounding environment into a meal. The nutrients are then absorbed back into the spore, which begins to grow by extending feeding tubes called hyphae. Filamentous fungi like molds and rots build a network of these feeding tubes called a mycelium. The mycelium will continue to expand as long as food and water are available. Prevention is as important as mitigation in damp and humid Bristol County environments. Once the colony is mature it can produce spores. Fungal spores are usually produced in fantastic numbers. A thriving mold colony can be covered with millions of spores per square inch.

    Where Can You Find Mold in Attleboro Massachusetts?

    Mold can be found in several areas in the home environment. Some of the common areas that mold can be found in Attleboro MA homes are attics, basements, bathrooms, kitchens, laundry areas, closets, and the surface of walls behind furniture. It appears most often in moist areas as little black circles or thread-like white objects. It is usually accompanied with a musty-type odor. Outdoors, in the 02703 area, mold plays a natural part in the environment by breaking down dead organic matter such as dead trees or fallen leaves. Mold reproduces by means of microscopic spores; the spores are invisible to the naked eye and float through the indoor and outdoor air. In Attleboro MA, mold begins to grow indoors when mold spores land on surfaces that are wet or damp. Mold will not grow without water or moisture. Therefore, in humid Bristol County environments, it is important to dry water-damaged areas and items within 24-48 hours to prevent mold growth.
