Baltimore Mold Removal

Professional Baltimore MOLD Remediation

Mold is a chronic problem in many parts of Baltimore Maryland. In the areas that comprise Baltimore, there are large rivers, streams, lakes, and the harbor of Baltimore that is affected by the tides of the ocean. With all this mention of water, a person may think how is this relevant to mold, and why is it such a big deal to have all these large water areas near Baltimore's citizens?

Water encompassing much of Baltimore can create water damage situations, because of the properties being near bodies of water. Also, because the water table is so high many of the properties in Baltimore need a sump pump to stem the flow of water rising during a severe rainstorm. If these properties become flooded, or the moisture levels rise, there is a higher chance of mold forming in the homes that are affected with this higher than normal level of moisture.

What are potential causes of Baltimore mold issues?

• Water damage that occurs from a flood
• Water damage that was caused by sump pump failures
• Higher humidity levels in a room that is not well ventilated
• A leaky roof that needs to be repaired

Why does mold tend to form in those areas of high moisture levels?

Mold is a member of the fungi family, a parasitic organism, that attaches itself to a food source that can provide it with nutrients that it needs to survive. Many properties in Baltimore are comprised of woods based materials and products. These products and materials are a great source of food for mold to form. The other material that is needed for mold to form is moisture. Mold can pull moisture from the air to survive or from moisture saturated materials such as wood. High moisture levels can cause mold to spread to other areas of a property, because the water saturated materials are not dried out then there is a risk for mold to spread to other areas.
