What is Mold?

Mold is a fungus that can be found in damp or wet areas. It is made up of spores which will reproduce and spread. Mold grows rapidly on damp or decaying matter.

 

What Causes Mold?

Mold will grow in places with a lot of moisture, such as around leaks in roofs, windows, or pipes, or where there has been flooding. Mold can enter your home through open doorways, windows, vents, and heating and air conditioning systems. Mold in the air outside can also attach itself to clothing, shoes, and pets can and be carried indoors.

 

Unfortunately, many building materials provide suitable nutrients that encourage mold to grow. These materials include, ceiling tiles, wood, and wood products, wallpaper, insulation materials, drywall, carpet, fabric, and upholstery can support mold growth.

 

How does it affect you?

People with allergies may be more sensitive to molds. People with immune suppression or underlying lung disease are more susceptible to fungal infections. Individuals with chronic respiratory disease (e.g., chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder, asthma) may experience difficulty breathing. Seek medical consultation if you are experiencing any of these symptoms and have been exposed to mold.

Protecting Your Pipes: Winter Is Coming

By Charlie Christenson • November 21, 2024
As the winter cold sets in across Nebraska and Iowa, homeowners face a significant risk: frozen pipes. When temperatures plummet, the water in pipes can freeze, leading to expansion and potential bursts that flood homes and cause extensive damage. Here’s a guide on safeguarding your plumbing as winter approaches. Why Frozen Pipes Are a Problem When water freezes, it expands. In confined spaces like pipes, this expansion creates pressure, which can lead to cracks and bursts. Pipes in unheated spaces, such as basements, attics, and garages, are especially vulnerable, as are those along exterior walls. Once a pipe bursts, the resulting flood can cause thousands of dollars in damage—not to mention the hassle of cleanup and repair.

The Dangers of Water Damage

April 15, 2024
Why Prompt Restoration is Crucial Water damage is a homeowner's worst nightmare. It strikes suddenly and causes chaos. The consequences can be bad if not addressed promptly, whether from burst pipes, leaking roofs, or natural disasters. At Christenson Cleaning & Restoration, we recognize the critical importance of swift action in mitigating these risks and restoring peace of mind. Understanding Water Damage The aftermath of water damage can be disastrous, posing risks to both property and health. Delaying restoration efforts can worsen these dangers, leading to structural damage, mold growth, electrical hazards, health risks, and property damage. One of the most immediate dangers is structural damage. When water infiltrates building materials such as wood, drywall, and insulation, it compromises their integrity, leading to warping, rotting, and potential structural collapse. Over time, untreated water damage can weaken the foundation of a property, posing safety hazards and requiring extensive repairs. The Benefits of Prompt Restoration Acting quickly is essential when facing water damage: Prevent Further Damage: Prompt restoration minimizes the spread of moisture, preventing secondary issues like mold growth and structural deterioration. Protect Health and Safety: Swift action reduces health risks associated with mold, bacteria, and contaminants, safeguarding occupants' well-being. Preserve Property Value: Timely restoration helps preserve property value by salvaging materials and belongings and avoiding costly repairs.
