Does Your Portland Home Have A Mold Problem?

3/13/2025 (Permalink)

Mold found its way into the bedroom of a Portland resident’s home.

Microscopic mold spores naturally occur almost everywhere, both outdoors and
indoors. This makes it impossible to remove all mold from a home or business.
Therefore, mold remediation reduces the mold spore count back to its natural or
baseline level. Some restoration businesses advertise “mold removal” and even
guarantee to remove all mold, which is a fallacy. Consider the following mold
facts:

- Mold is present almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors.

- Mold spores are microscopic and float along in the air and may enter your
home through windows, doors, or AC/heating systems, or even hitch a ride
indoors on your clothing or a pet.

- Mold spores thrive on moisture. Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies
when exposed to water. These colonies may produce health effects.

- Before mold remediation can begin, any sources of water or moisture must
be addressed. Otherwise, the mold may return.

- Mold often produces a strong, musty odor and can lead you to possible
mold problem areas.

- Even higher-than-normal indoor humidity can support mold growth. Keep
indoor humidity below 45 percent.
