Mold Infestations in Houses, Apartments & Workplace Buildings

Mold can infest any home, business or facility under the right conditions. Often the mold spores and growth goes unnoticed as it thrives in dark places. With the introduction of water from a leaky roof, plumbing pipe, fixtures or appliances, mold can take form. In as little to 48-72 hours, mold can spread throughout the property causing destruction, triggering allergies, inducing asthma attacks, and creating respiratory issues. Having a mold problem is problematic and best suited for the professionals at American Hometown Services!

Mold Spore Growth Count

American Hometown Services would like to briefly discuss mold for a better understanding. Mold spores are microscopic and can be found nearly anywhere both indoors and outdoors. They can float through the air. Being filtered through your HVAC system, mold can easily be transferred onto the bottom of shoe treads or onto pets, which further get spread throughout the building. Mold favors warmth, darkness and moisture and feeds on nearly anything, including dust, making it fairly easy to grow quickly and overtake your home or worplace.

Mold infested objects require specific disposal methods, and American Hometown Services can ensure molded items are properly removed and disposed of.
