Mold is a fungus that grows inside or outside. Homeowners can recognize it, as it looks like spots of different colors, usually black, grey, or greenish. Mold multiplies by producing spores so tiny that even a breeze can carry them far away. It loves wet or damp places and grows rapidly when the conditions are suitable.
Some types of mold have a circular shape, and others look like long chains. But almost all mold gives off a musty or earthy smell, making it relatively easy to recognize mold problems at home.
More than being unsightly, mold can be harmful to health. Those with allergies, respiratory conditions, or asthma are at risk. Immunocompromised individuals, such as those weakened by HIV, cancer, or other diseases, are also more sensitive to mold infestation. As mold grows and the spores spread, they carry microorganisms that irritate asthmatic individuals, who are likely to have more severe asthma symptoms than those living in a mold-free home.
As an allergen, mold can also cause allergic outbreaks. Those allergic to mold often experience sneezing, a runny nose, itchy throat, etc. Mold can cause headaches, wheezing, insomnia, and fever in healthy individuals. There have also been reports of depression episodes related to long-term exposure to mold infestation.

Common places where molds grow in your Sacramento home
Inside a house, mold usually grows in rooms with leaky pipes and is most likely to affect bathrooms and basements. Any areas with excess moisture encourage mold growth. Although it's often visible on walls, mold can live on any surface, including wood, paper, plastic, and so on. It's worth noting that cleanliness has nothing to do with mold growth; even the most spotless home can have mold if the conditions are suitable.
Furthermore, it isn't uncommon to find mold in the eves, on window sills, or floors. Without sunlight, any trapped moisture in the eves is likely to linger. Condensation and spilled water on window sills and floors also create a suitable habitat for mold.

Mold Inspection & Testing
Sometimes mold is visible and evident to homeowners, who may even smell a musty odor that points to mold problems.
Professional mold exterminators have the right equipment and knowledge to inspect a home for mold. At Clover Valley Home Service, we look beyond the visible mold and perform a thorough inspection to determine the presence of mold and any mold damage that homeowners might not have noticed.
If anyone in the household has asthma, allergies, or a respiratory condition, calling a mold inspection service becomes even more necessary. Professionals can know for sure if mold is worsening the symptoms, and we use the air sample to determine if there is mold and what type it is. Armed with that knowledge, we use the best method to treat the mold infestation.
Mold Remediation & Removal
With a confirmed mold infestation, we proceed with extermination. The first step is mold removal to eliminate visible mold. It's worth noting that this has more to do with aesthetics. Mold removal does not get rid of the spores, which can continue to cause health issues.
Rectifying damp and wet areas at home is the best way to prevent a recurring mold infestation. To that effect, we filtrate the air to get rid of the spores. We use a sample test to determine the type of mold so that we know what to do next.
The next course of action usually involves applying the appropriate anti-fungals on areas of mold growth, most commonly walls, floors, and furniture. If the infestation is significant, we might have to discard sections of drywall and insulation. For the bathtub, we apply a biocide and clean it thoroughly.
Mold Restoration
The final step, mold restoration, involves getting the house ready for occupancy. For this, we sanitize all treated surfaces and use our advanced fogging tools to remove the odor of anti-fungal chemicals.
Depending on the infestation level, any drywall, insulation, and other building materials removed are properly replaced. Homeowners do not have to hire a contractor for this, as Clover Valley Home Service is a full-service mold removal company.
In short, we get everything fixed up to high standards before we call it a day.
Mold is a severe problem whose removal requires advanced techniques and equipment.
