Mold is creating a challenge for those who buy, sell, own, manage, lease, insure and finance developed properties. By its’ nature mold is present everyday in our lives everywhere on this planet, inside and outside of our buildings. Mold is classified as fungi and is easily transported through the air. When provided moisture or a water source mold will grow very rapidly consuming any source of organic material. Many common building materials serve as a food source for mold gypsum wall board, cellulose ceiling tiles, wood, paper, and dirt to name a few. Since molds grow by digesting organic material, they eventually destroy whatever they grow on. Molds release millions of tiny, microscopic, lightweight spores that travel through the air, which can be ingested by building occupants. The resultant mold spores have the potential to cause adverse health effects to humans.
