Mold in Your Home – What to Know

What Do You Do When You Find Mold?

What Do You Do When You Find Mold?

When you suspect mold in your home, the first thing you should do is to set aside any feelings of panic or pointing fingers. There’s often nobody to blame for mold problems. Mold spores exist virtually everywhere on earth, and the bare necessities for mold to grow are present in every home—water, oxygen, and food.

At Stern Mold, we educate you about how to prevent mold, and believe that the best NYC mold removal treatment not only kills the present mold, but also keeps it from returning.

Mold Science 101

For starters, here are some basic facts about mold that every homeowner, apartment dweller, and landlord should know:

• Mold needs oxygen, so a sealed surface cannot grow mold underneath.

• Mold needs food, but its food can be wood, paper, or other bio matter.

• Mold needs moisture, so a holistic approach to NYC mold removal includes removing the root causes and adding dehumidifiers if necessary.

• Mold spores are invisible to the naked eye and can go inactive for months or years before regenerating a mold infestation if left behind.

The Latest NYC Mold Removal Method

Household cleaners can kill visible mold, but the tiny spores will remain unless you go through one of two options:

• Mold remediation, where a contractor rips out drywall and other infected areas

• Or MoldExterm, the less expensive, less invasive solution which applies a powerful fungicide and then seals the surface so any remaining spores cannot grow new mold
