Mold & mildew remediation treatment

Identifying mold and mildew in your building

Mold and mildew are microscopic fungi that thrive in damp objects and environments and are often found inside building establishments.

Mold is usually recognized as black, green, blue or dark brown spots. While mildew usually refers to mold growth in the form of white, gray or yellowish spots. Mold and mildew usually grow and develop on windows, leaking pipes, roofs, walls, gypsum, especially wood that has been flooded or frequently exposed to water.

Mold and mildew can grow easily on dust particles and objects that contain cellulose, such as paper, cardboard, wallpaper, furniture made of leather and fabrics.

Several species of fungi that are commonly found in buildings, including:

• Genus Aspergillus sp.
• Genus Cladosporium sp.
• Genus Stachybotrys sp.
• Genus Trichoderma sp.

Mold and mildew reproduce by releasing spores that easily spread through the air and if inhaled or land on human skin can cause serious health problems, including:

• Allergic reactions, such as stuffy or runny nose, sore eyes, sneezing, coughing, chest pain, shortness of breath, skin irritation and headaches
• Eczema
• Lung infection
• Asthma
• Poisoning

Mold spores spread and grow easily in moist, warm and poorly ventilated areas. Long holidays or temporary closures during the COVID-19 pandemic provide ideal conditions for mold growth that might cause further losses to business locations:

• Financial losses due to mold on product inventory and other assets
• Damaging the property aesthetics and structures
• Unpleasant odors that disturb employees and customers

Mold and mildew can grow rapidly in Indonesia's humid and warm climate, making it difficult to remove with regular cleaning.
