Mold Remediation in Freehold, NJ

Mold is a major problem because of its potential to cause significant property damage and health effects from exposure.  Mold spores are most likely to form mold growth where there is a source of water or moisture which makes places like kitchens, bathrooms, and areas affected by water damage highly vulnerable. Mold colonies tend to appear on surfaces and building materials that contain cellulose, the main food source for mold, which can be found in wood, drywall, insulation, and other common household materials. Over time, the affected materials will become weakened as the mold continues to eat away at them. Damage to wood and drywall from mold can cause severe structural damage.

The other problem with mold is that it can have a negative effect on the health of those who are exposed. Mold exposure may trigger a range of allergic reactions including coughing, headaches, skin irritation, nasal congestion, and itchy eyes and throat. More serious complications like respiratory infections may develop from long-term exposure. Those who are most at risk of health effects from mold exposure include children, seniors, and those with compromised immune systems.
