The Silent Threat: Understanding And Dealing With Mold Damage

Two to ten microns in size, mold spores are nearly invisible but carry a great threat to homeowners and business owners alike. These minute and silent plant spores lurk in our living and working areas often unaware to us, yet they create great challenges to our facilities and health. Rainbow Restoration can assist you in mold remediation - here’s how.

Where Does Mold Come From?

Mold is a consequence of excess moisture.  When water damage has occurred in your home or business, mold can appear.  This can be due to a leaky roof, a broken pipe, a severe storm, unsealed windows or doors, foundation cracks, water from putting out a fire, and many other events.  Mold needs moisture to thrive, so water extraction must be dealt with immediately. 


How Does Mold Affect Me?

Mold spores multiply rapidly.  They can travel through and contaminate the air inside causing or aggravating problems such as asthma, respiratory illnesses, allergies, fatigue, and digestive issues.  It can also damage the surfaces where it grows such as walls, ceilings, and floors.  Mold can also emit an unwanted odor.


How Will Rainbow Restoration Remove Mold?

Mold remediation is a serious activity and it takes experts with the right equipment and safety uniforms like the professionals at Rainbow Restoration. 

  • Equipped with industry standards like facial coverings, safe suits to prevent the inhalation of mold, we’ll begin to remove damaged materials like drywall, carpeting, and insulation.  These damaged materials will be encased, sprayed for residual spores, and disposed of properly. 
  • An area that is unable to be removed will be cleaned with specialized solutions and equipment. 
  • Salvageable items are often taken off-site for expert care, drying, cleaning, and sanitizing procedures. 
  • Biocide may be used overnight to effectively remove residual spores. 
  • Special dryers and dehumidifiers are utilized to thoroughly dry out the area until humidity levels are returned to normal. 
  • Air samples will be taken to guarantee the space is completely free of mold spores. 


How Can I Prevent Mold?

As with any building project, there are mold resistant materials that can be purchased and implemented.  Items such as treated lumber, 

HVAC filters that will eliminate airborne mold spores, mold resistant insulation, caulk, ceramic or porcelain tile, latex flooring, as well as mold resistant carpeting and paint.   Additionally, using a dehumidifier that maintains humidity levels around 50, repairing leaky faucets, roofs, broken pipes and drafty windows provides extra mold prevention. 


Don’t let mold spoil your healthy home or business environment.  Contact the team of professionals at Rainbow Restoration of North Central Ohio for your mold inspection or removal needs.  They are available 24/7.
