Molds, a type of fungi, live in nearly every part of the Earth. They are a highly adaptive and widespread organism that needs little to survive and reproduce. You can find molds on everything from forest trees to clothing, carpeting, and even food items. They are common in damp, moist places like behind furniture, near leaking pipes, and in roofing materials. Unchecked mold growth can become a very serious problem. The least bit of water leakage can create a hotbed for mold growth. Flooding and water main leaks are primary sources of mold infestations. Oftentimes, if the molding area isn't easily visible, homeowners won't even realize the mold problem is present until the musty, pungent odor presents itself. Mold contamination is such a large concern not only because it can be unsightly and odiferous, but because mold can be downright deadly. During the lifespan of mold, it produces substances called mycotoxins. These mycotoxins are the source of many of the health problems associated with molds, and they can cause a wide spectrum of allergic responses in humans, ranging from sinusitis all the way to life-threatening allergic reactions.
