Mold Problems Force Mother of Two from Ware Apartment

A recent story covered the potential hazards of a living situation in which the concentration of mold in a home had reached dangerous conditions. The mother noted one tell-tale sign of mold, being that rugs would randomly feel damp without having any water spilled on them. This is because the cellular structure of large, connected colonies of mold allow the sharing and transfer of water across the entire network – if there were a leaking pipe in the structure as the mother predicted and as we often see in our mold remediation work, the mold closest to the pipe would be able to transfer water, food and other nutrients to each other through the hyphal networks created by the complex mycorrhizal fungal networks linking fungi together. This ability originates in forests as a symbiotic relationships between certain types of trees and fungi, allowing the trees to collectively share water and other nutrients with each other through fungal growths connecting trees’ root networks within a certain proximity.

Properly Dealing with Mold Problems

PowerBees would like to express its concern for Ms. Antunes and her family and are disappointed with the property managers who did not hire qualified specialists to perform mold remediation services, which would have done significantly more to treat the mold outbreak than a small application of spray foam under the carpet. The health effects of mold toxicity are extremely dangerous and if you feel that your apartment may have a mold issue, PowerBees strongly recommends considering mold testing services to have a licensed and certified mold inspector determine the extent of mold remediation work to occur in your home.
