Causes and Risks of Basement Mold

Allowing mold to grow unchecked puts you and your family at risk for allergic reactions and severe respiratory issues and can damage your home. The first step to avoiding these risks is understanding the causes of mold growth. Once you know what causes mold, you can take measures to prevent it. Basement mold is often the result of one or a combination of the following:

• Leaking Pipes: Even tiny leaks in pipes can cause enough water damage to attract mold spores. If you suspect a broken pipe, be sure to reach out to your local plumber. Then contact us to have your home checked for mold.
• Excessive Humidity: Basements tend to be damp and humid. That humidity can lead to mold growth.
• Condensation: With temperature fluctuations comes increased condensation. Excess condensation can often lead to mildew and mold on basement walls.
• Flooding: Flooding is a leading cause of mold, especially in below-ground basements. It is important to address water damage right away, then contact us to have your home reviewed for mold.
• Lack of Ventilation: Ventilation is vital to keeping your basement free of mold. Stagnant air creates ideal conditions for mold growth.

Our Mold Removal Process

Mold removal in basements often follows three phases. However, we take a unique approach to each case and make sure to offer only the services you actually need. Most of the time, you can count on this basic mold removal process:

• Evaluation and Inspection: Before beginning any work, our team will evaluate your home to determine where mold exists and develop a plan to remove it. You can take this a step further by choosing to have an Indoor Environmental Professional (IEP) inspect your home.
• Removal: Once a plan is developed, our team takes the right steps to clean the affected areas. We use specialized cleaners to ensure that all affected spaces are free from mold.
• Verification: If you chose to have an inspection performed by an IEP, they can return to perform a verification to confirm all mold has been properly removed.
