A vacant home in Sacramento had a leak in the ceiling of this closet, causing mold to grow within a few weeks.

Molds and fungi are found throughout nature. Some molds, like penicillin, are useful and can be helpful in our lives, while other forms of mold can be very harmful. Excessive amounts of mold, specific types of mold, and over exposure to mold can present health concerns for some people such as runny nose, sneezing, coughing, aggravation of asthma, sore throat, or inflammation of sinuses.

Molds need four things to survive: organic material for a food source, warmth, oxygen, and moisture. When water damages occur, it presents moisture into the environment. If this water damage isn’t addressed right away, then the resulting damage can present increased risk of harmful mold growth.

Do you think your home or business might have mold? Here’s what to be alert for:

• The presence of visible mold
• Strong musty odors, which may indicate mold presence
• Any evidence of past moisture problems which may have caused undetected mold growth
• Excessive humidity
