Mold
REMEDIATION
Covenant
The reality is that every house and every property has mold. It's synchronized with nature, it's everywhere. The question is whether or not it's actively growing or if it's such a large quantity that it's changing the quality of the air that we breathe when we are nearby or inside that property.
We focus on the whole spectrum of properties: residential, religious, industrial, commercial, and government; and we've found mold in all of them.
What causes mold
We believe that mold was designed by God to recycle life. It consumes dead organic materials. The key component is water. Mold like us needs something to eat, air to breathe and something to drink. When building materials are exposed to high enough levels of moisture, mold can start to decompose dead organic materials. This can be caused by water leaks and or high levels of humidity. At 60% relative humidity hygroscopic (moisture attracting or absorbing) building materials can absorb the excess water vapor in the air.
A Little Goes A Long Way
Finding a little mold may not seem like a big issue, but the reality is there can be many things causing the mold, and not only is it toxic, but it can be the tip of the iceberg for a bigger issue such as a water leak, its important to call an expert to find out what exactly is happening and how to remedy the situation.

Bleach Is Not Efficient
Although it is commonly used, bleach is not a good solution for mold remediation. If you read and follow the label of bleach, you will see mixing ratios and instructions for cleaning and then rinsing what was cleaned. Bleach cannot stop the regrowth of mold. Molds typically like a slightly acidic environment. Since bleach is acidic, it cannot stop the regrowth, requires rinsing, and is a water-based solution, it's a poor solution to a mold problem, especially since the mold started to grow from a water problem to begin with.
