Mold is usually and overlooked threat to many homes in the New Jersey area. Simply being located close to bodies of water and being exposed to a high humidity environment can facilitate mold growth. Addressing these concerns should not be attempted on your own, since mold can expose the home owner to negative health risks and risks to the structure. 

This is where our team of professionals comes in. Our experienced team has the knowledge and equipment to tackle your mold issue.

There is a lot of misunderstanding surrounding the topic of mold. Mold spores occur naturally almost everywhere, both indoors and outdoors. These microscopic spores float along in the air and can enter a home or business through windows and HVAC systems. Consider these facts: 

• Mold is present almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors.
• Mold spores are microscopic and float along in the air and may enter your home through windows, doors, or AC/heating systems or even hitch a ride indoors on your clothing or a pet.
• Mold spores thrive on moisture. Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water. These colonies may produce allergens and irritants.
• Before mold remediation can begin, any sources of water or moisture must be addressed. Otherwise, the mold may return.
• Mold often produces a strong, musty odor and can lead you to possible mold problem areas.
• Even higher-than-normal indoor humidity can support mold growth. Keep indoor humidity below 45 percent.

• Stay out of affected areas.
• Turn off the HVAC system and fans.
• Contact Brookside Home Improvement for mold remediation services.

• Don’t touch or disturb the mold.
• Don’t blow air across any surfaces with visible or suspected mold growth.
• Don’t attempt to dry the area yourself.
• Don’t spray bleach or other disinfectants on the mold.
