Diamond Environmental Services, Inc. Mold

Mold: …A growth of minute fungi of

various kinds, especially those of the

great groups Hyphomycetes and
Physomycetes, forming on damp or
decaying organic matter.

Fungus and molds are a common
problem in many buildings, including
homes, schools and hospitals, as well

as industrial and commercial facilities.

They can grow on cloth, carpet, leather, wood, sheet rock, insulation and even on human food when moist conditions exist. Molds reproduce by making spores which are spread throughout the environment in the air, as the spores land they begin to grow and multiply as long as there is moisture and organic material to eat. Because molds grow in moist or wet indoor environments, it is possible for people to become exposed to molds and their products, either by direct contact on surfaces, or through the air.

The health effects on people are varied, from allergic reaction to a state of toxicity. So the appropriate health practice should be removal of occupants from the contaminated area and speedy remediation.

The professionals at Diamond Environmental Services, Inc. can access the nature of your mold problem through air monitoring and sampling. Once the exact nature of the problem has been discovered, a plan of action can be developed to remove the mold(s) and prevent their recurrence.
