DO I HAVE MOLD? The answer is an unenthusiastic "YES!" Everybody has mold. Mold is a part of our environment. It is literally everywhere. The problem is when mold concentrations in our energy efficient homes gets too high, it can pose a health hazard to you and your family. The truth is, all homes and businesses have mold spores floating around in the air. Spores are microscopic seeds that mold colonies produce. Mold spores get blown into your living space from the outside, they get tracked in on your shoes and clothing. Some mold spores are harmless and some can be very toxic to humans and pets. Do you have mold spores in your home? To find out, we recommend running a series of tests. Once we know what kind of mold is present and how much there is, we can recommend a detailed plan of action (called a protocol) customized for your situation. Call (218) 727-2575 to learn more.

Understanding Mold
Confusion and misunderstanding surround the topic of mold and mold remediation. Some restoration businesses even make claims to remove all mold from a building. This is a fallacy. Mold spores occur naturally almost everywhere, both indoors and outdoors. These microscopic spores float along in the air and can enter a home or business through windows and HVAC systems. Consider these facts:
- Mold is present almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors.
- Mold spores are microscopic and float along in the air and may enter your home through windows, doors, or AC/heating systems or even hitch a ride indoors on your clothing or a pet.
- Mold spores thrive on moisture. Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water. These colonies may produce allergens and irritants.
- Before mold remediation can begin, any sources of water or moisture must be addressed. Otherwise, the mold may return.
- Mold often produces a strong, musty odor and can lead you to possible mold problem areas.
- Even higher-than-normal indoor humidity can support mold growth. Keep indoor humidity below 45 percent.
