Bathroom Mold Removal
Mold Issues Often Start in the Bathroom, Here's Why -
The obvious reasons are bathrooms tend to be humid rooms because of the steam from baths or showers. But also most bathroom fans don't move enough air to keep the moisture from building up. As you probably know moisture is what mold needs to thrive and colonize and bathrooms provide the perfect environment for it to do just that.
What You Don't Know - Bathroom Mold Is Often Just Symptom of a Bigger Mold Problem
What you may not know is that moisture doesn't create mold colonies, the mold is already in your home.
Wait... what?
You are reading this correctly, mold is already present in your home even if you don't see it. Mold is only visible in its third stage and in its first two stages mold still produces spores and mycotoxins. Spores just bounce around your home on microcurrents and through HVAC systems waiting to land somewhere hospitable. Mold is an opportunist and it doesn't discriminate. Wherever the conditions are right it will set up shop and in most bathrooms, the conditions are certainly right.
Mold Colonies and Health Concerns
Mold is often already present in virtually every drain in your home as well. Those mold colonies "spore out" and send little spore soldiers into the environment to conquer and take new ground. Mold also enters from the outside through open windows and doors. Although most strains of mold in low counts aren't dangerous, some marker molds are dangerous at any level and most strains in high enough counts can affect your health.
