Fungus Removal in Seattle

Let's just start off by saying that mold is fungus, which makes up 25% of the earth's bio mass, and is considered ubiquitous or omnipresent - it's everywhere. So, when we talk about removing mold, we must realize that it can never be totally removed or eliminated.

How to Remove Fungus in your Home?

Mold Spores are everywhere - Mold Solutions NWLet’s just start off by saying that mold is fungus, which makes up 25% of the earth’s bio mass, and is considered ubiquitous or omnipresent –  it’s everywhere.

So, when we talk about removing mold, we must realize that it can never be totally removed or eliminated. It’s just not possible to have a total absence of mold spores.

There are no standards or guidelines when it comes to fungal samples, there are no levels which are considered typical or permissible.

But if you can see or smell mold growing in your home or business, it is unacceptable…it presents a potential health risk to people who consistently breathe the air.

Mold Should be Professionally Remediated

Many people think they can remove mold themselves, and not hire a professional, but the truth is…they can’t.

If the mold is on a non-porous surface such as glass or tile, it is generally easily removed.

But, if it is found growing in walls, ceilings or carpets, the only way it can be remediated properly is by hiring a professional who can assess the degree of contamination and infestation. Then, using the correct tools and products, they will either treat, or in some cases where treatment is ineffective, they will remove the item or the part of it that is untreatable.

In the future

Unfortunately, bringing professionals in to do the job doesn’t insure that you won’t have a mold problem sometime in the future.

Mold Spores are always in the air - Mold Solutions NWWhenever the situation is right (a warm, moist environment), mold will begin to grow again. Remember, it’s spores are in the air, they’re always in the air.

The best thing you can do to keep your mold spore concentration levels down is to keep excess moisture in your home at a minimum.

  • Fix leaks
  • Run ventilation fans
  • Make sure your attic and crawl space are well ventilated
  • Handle water damage quickly and thoroughly

Water is the problem and mold is the symptom.

If you are in the Seattle Puget Sound area, Bellevue, Everett, or Tacoma, give me a call for a free assessment…so you can breathe easy!

How To Get Rid Of Mold On Window Sill From Condensation

During the winter season we experience not only a chill, but also dampness in the air.

With the cold air outside and the warm air inside, with our homes closed up tighter, and our furnaces running, many of us are plagued by foggy windows or even worse, wet windows, better described as condensation.

Mold Spores In Our Homes, The Air & On Our Clothes

As a living organism, mold needs a way to reproduce. That is where spores some in.

Spores are the reproduction method for fungus and algae. Since mold is a fungus, its means of reproduction is through spores, which are asexual, and don’t need to combine with anything in order to reproduce. Spores are much like seeds, but are much quicker and have a higher reproduction rate.
