Pressure Washing Concord, Harrisburg and Kannapolis Since 2000.
Allowing your home or business to go uncleaned and unprotected can cost you a lot more on the back end. In fact avoiding maintenance on your home or business can even result in structural damages costing you thousands. We have been Pressure Washing Concord, Harrisburg, Kannapolis and Central NC since 2000 and we are here to help you better understand mold and mildew growth. Some of the information below is provided by the EPA.
Molds and mildew are fungi that grow on the surfaces of objects, within pores, and in deteriorated materials. They can cause discoloration and odor problems, deteriorate building materials, create slick surfaces and lead to allergic reactions in susceptible individuals, as well as other health problems.
The following conditions are necessary for mold growth to occur on surfaces:
- temperature range above 40°F and below 100°F
- nutrient base (most surfaces contain nutrients)
- moisture
Spores are almost always present in outdoor and indoor air, and almost all commonly used construction materials and furnishings can provide nutrients to support mold growth. Dirt on surfaces provides additional nutrients. Cleaning and disinfecting with nonpolluting cleaners and antimicrobial agents provides protection against mold growth. However, it is virtually impossible to eliminate all nutrients. Moisture control is thus an important strategy for reducing mold growth.
The type of mold that grows on wood and vinyl can not do any structural damage. However, if the mold is left untreated it creates the right habitat for decay fungi to set in. Once this has begun you are at risk of material damage. We always use EPA best practices. All chemicals used are environmentally safe and bio-degradable.
