How to pick a mold contractor

UNDERSTANDING THE MOLD REMOVAL PROCESS

  • Type of Mold Memediation

  • Mold in Buildings

  • Important information about mold

 

 
 

Mold Removal is often times best left to the professionals. Without conducting
a proper Mold Inspection and Mold Testing prior to the start of a Mold Remediation project will often times spell disaster. Mold Abatement can be complicated, therefore it is vital to know the extent of the damage and to establish proper containment before beginning the Mold Cleanup Process.

 

Tight Buildings and Mold

Homes that are built in the 21st century are built tighter than ever before. The method of construction used is designed to keep exterior air infiltration to a minimum which in turn reduces heating and cooling costs. But does today's tighter building construction also promote mold development?

Tight Buildings and Mold

New homes are more energy efficient than ever before

Tighter building construction does not by itself promote mold growth, but tight construction combined with some poor choices in design, building materials or operations can increase the probability of mold growth. What do we mean? The tighter the building construction the less air exchange there is between the inside air and the outside air. Whatever gets into the inside air stays there longer than it would in a house with loose construction. Moisture that gets into the air from activities such as cooking, bathing and even breathing will remain in a tight house longer than it would in a loose house. That's why exhaust fans should be installed in bathrooms and kitchens and vented to the outside. Clothes dryers should also be vented to the outside.

Tight construction permits control of the air exchange between the inside and the outside and can prevent the deposition of moisture in walls and roofs. Controlling moisture, including indoor relative humidity is the key to preventing mold growth. Tight building construction when combined with source control of moisture (exhaust fans) and controlled ventilation (intentional introduction of outside air) reduces the probability of mold growth in a building.

Controlled ventilation can be provided by a duct that brings outside air to the return side of the air handler of a forced air system. A timing device or fan cycler can be programmed to have the air handler turn on for a specified number of minutes each hour even when there is no call for heating or cooling. In cold climates controlled ventilation is frequently provided by a heat recovery ventilator (HRV).

In conclusion, today's tighter building construction will save you money on heating and cooling costs. Just make sure your builder has taken every precaution during the construction of your new home to prevent the building materials from attracting mold contamination.
