Though these services may be needed for your property’s health, you likely don’t know much about them. After all, remediation services are generally only used once or twice in a lifetime. If you have never experienced a mold situation, it can make it a much more challenging and confusing process to endure. United Water Restoration Group of Austin would like to discuss mold remediation in Austin and what to expect from our services.
Mold spores are present in virtually every room. The average spore count in any given room is generally between 200 to 700 mold spores. These spores are typically harmless in this state, you’ve likely lived most of your life with hundreds of spores around you at any given time. These spores become a problem at elevated levels, where they drastically reduce the quality of air in affected areas. Continuous exposure to mold spores can cause delayed and immediate allergic reactions. Reactions such as irritated eyes, mouth, and throat as well as difficulty breathing are common reactions to breathing in mold.
Mold becomes a real issue when it begins forming mold colonies. Mold colonies can begin forming in as little as 24 hours after growth conditions are met. Colonies are problematic as they cause continuous, lingering damage to your property. They will continue to grow and spread throughout the property if left unaddressed. These colonies reduce air quality in affected areas by continuously releasing spores into the air as they eat through organic material.
Mold colonies can grow on the following materials:
