Mold grows in places with a lots of moisture, such as around leaks in your roof, windows, pipes, or where there has been flooding. Mold grows easily on paper products, cardboard, ceiling tiles, and wood products. Mold can also grow in dust, paints, wallpaper, insulation, drywall, carpet, fabric, and upholstery. These are important tips to control mold growth inside your home:
  • Keep humidity levels between 40% and 60%;

  • Thoroughly clean and dry after flooding;
  • Ventilate your shower, laundry, and cooking areas properly
If mold is growing in your home, it must be promptly cleaned and the source removed, i.e., fixing a moisture problem. Mold growth can be removed from hard surfaces with commercial products, soap and water, or with a bleach solution of no more than 1 cup of bleach in 1 gallon of water. Mold growth generally looks like spots, but can be many different colors and smells musty. If you can see or smell mold there may already be a health risk present. You do not need to know the type of mold growing in your home. No matter what type of mold is present, you should remove it as quickly as possible. Since the effect of mold on people can vary greatly, either because of the amount or type of mold, you cannot rely on sampling and culturing to know your health risk.

Mold in attic

Mold in Attic

Mold can stay hidden in your attic and may not be found until you are having work done on your A/C unit or roof repair. Your ventilation system may cause mold in your attic during heating and cooling periods.

Crawl space mold

Mold in Crawl space

Mold can appear in crawl space under your house due to the opening to the elements. This area can be cleaned and coated to keep mold from building on the exterior elements of your home.

HIDDEN MOLD

Did you know that mold can grow indoors in places that may not be obvious?

Mold can grow on hidden surfaces; such as, the backside of dry wall, wallpaper, or paneling, the top of ceiling tiles, the underside of carpets and pads, etc. Mold and grow in these possible locations and may result in hidden mold in areas that include pipe chases and utility tunnels (with leaking or condensing pipes), walls behind furniture (where condensation forms), condensate drain pans inside air handling units, porous thermal or acoustic liners inside ductwork, or roof materials above ceiling tiles (due to roof leaks or insufficient insulation).

There are building materials that can act as a vapor barrier; such as, dry wall with vinyl wallpaper over it or wood paneling, trapping moisture underneath their surfaces and providing a moisture environment allowing mold to be able to grow.

If you suspect mold, removal can be dangerous, especially when removal of wallpaper can lead to a massive release of spores from mold growing on the underside of the paper. Call the professional to make sure your family and your health is safe from these types of mold dangers.

People just like you say nice things about our service

  • We did a major remodeling of our master bedroom and bathroom and hired Superior Electrical to do all of the electrical work. They did a great job and proved themselves capable, competent, and reliable. Rich, Alex, and David will be our go-to electricians next time we need any electrical work.

  • Superior Electrical is a family owned and operated business that really does a thorough job and makes sure your problem is REALLY solved. Our garage electrical had stopped working due to some faulty wiring in the past. They came out last month and checked out the entire system and found a faulty installation of fuses, but still charged me as if it was just a small repair. Plus he taught us about what to do if the fuse--which is part of the hardwiring now--causes problems again so we can fix it ourselves. I like that.....

  • Superior Electrical came to our house when I had an outlet that was not working properly and while they where here; discovered some improperly wired items that could have caused a fire later in time. Later they told me about the ALL HOUSE Surge Protector and I was thrilled that they were able to install one for my home. So now all of my major appliances, PCs and TVs are safe. I highly recommend Supreior Electrical to all my friends and family. They are THE MOST reliable company I have ever used for electrical repair services.
