Not only can mold negatively affect the health of those exposed, but mold damage can also pose a threat to the structural integrity of wood, drywall, and other building materials. Therefore, it is important to address any mold damage before it gets out of hand. Mold grows in places with high moisture levels, such as roof and plumbing leaks, compromised windows, or flooded areas. It can thrive on wood and paper materials, but also grows on drywall, paint, insulation, fabric, and other materials.
As mold grows, it feeds on organic matter, which gradually causes damage to whatever surface it is growing on. This is both unsightly and dangerous, as it can severely compromise the integrity of the construction over time. If not addressed, mold damage can eventually lead to the collapse of ceilings, floors, and walls. It does not take long for materials to become so compromised that repair is no longer an option and removal becomes necessary. Left unchecked, a minor problem can escalate to a serious issue that will likely cost thousands of dollars to repair.
