What is Mold?
Causes and Growing Conditions
Mold is a type of fungus that occurs naturally in the environment. It spreads by means of microscopic airborne spores. Mold is found everywhere life can be supported however, it requires certain conditions to grow.
Mold will grow where there is moisture, such as:
- around leaks in roofs
- windows and doors
- pipes
- where there has been a flood
Mold also grows on:
- wood and insulation
- paints and wallpaper
- ceiling tiles and drywall
- carpet, fabric, and upholstery
By minimizing moisture we can reduce or eliminate the risk of mold growth. Mold can cause adverse health effects such as a stuffy nose, sore throat, coughing or wheezing, burning eyes, or skin rash. Call Southern Restoration today if you are experiencing mold in your home or business.

Identifying Mold
Molds are very common in commercial buildings and homes and can be found both indoors and outdoors. Mold can enter your home through open doorways, windows, vents, and heating and air conditioning systems. There are some ways you can tell if you are having a mold problem. Mold gives off a musty earthy smell often associated with basements. It is more likely that you will smell the mold before you see it.
Mold Remediation
Once you've identified mold in your home, or if you suspect you might have mold, it's best to contact a certified expert in the field to get it taken care of.
