Unfortunately, you cannot consider mold in your Orlando home as merely an aesthetic problem. Mold growth is associated with property damage and several health issues. At Going Green Restoration, the good news is we provide experienced mold and moisture removal services using the newest technology and state-of-the-art equipment.

Traveling Spores

Mold is a sneaky little fungus that thrives in humid, moist, warm and dark environments. It can grow and develop on virtually any porous material as long as excess moisture and oxygen are present.

Conditions that promote mold growth include:

• Floods in your home’s crawlspace after a storm
• A leak or dampness in a basement
• Leaking toilets
• A leaking roof
• Leaks under the kitchen or bathroom sink
• Leaving a moist towel on the counter

As soon as mold has reached a suitable location to settle, it will release its spores throughout the entire property, finding other areas to grow. Once these spores are inhaled, the following adverse health symptoms begin to occur:

• Allergies worsen
• Headaches
• Sudden sneezing, itching and rashes
• Sleeping problems
• Feeling lazy and irritable
• Difficulty breathing

However, just because you have mold in your home doesn’t mean you will experience any aforementioned adverse symptoms. Several factors determine how sick you may become, including the amount, age and type of mold. In addition, if a person has pre-existing health conditions, it can make them more prone to getting sick from mold. For example, people with asthma or a chronic lung condition may experience difficulty breathing when mold is present.

Hungry Mold

If your home has mold under the floors, between the walls and on the support beams, then you have a significant problem. The mold is actively eating your house, and slowly but surely, it can cause considerable structural damage. How can you identify mold? Some signs include a musky odor, damaged wood floors, condensation on walls and windows or discoloration of the ceilings and walls.
