The climate in Omaha, Nebraska is less conducive to mold growth inside the walls of homes and other structures; but a pin-hole leak in a pipe, weeping basement walls or a compromised roof are all sources of moisture that can trigger mold growth. It doesn’t take much mold to generate enough airborne mold spores and toxicity to impact the compromised immune systems of those staying at assisted living centers, or young children at home and at schools.
Your community in Ralston, or up north in Washington County and Bennington, or in Council Bluffs suburbs or in Chautauqua, are no exception. Residents in Papillion or wherever you live, can benefit from a mold inspection. Those in Chalco might see an opportunity for improvement in their air quality after getting a professional test of the air in their home or business. Without the proper control of the building envelope or an unattended pipe collecting water in places you can’t reach, whether you are in Offutt AFB, close to Bellevue, NE or all the way north in Fort Calhoun and Blair, NE you could, without knowing, be subject to the toxic effects of mold irritants.
If there’s mold growth in your building, you need to take care of it as soon as possible. Molds decrease the value of a property, and I am sure no one in the world wants that to happen.
