Mold Removal in School – Nashua, NH
Max, the school district’s superintendent walked slowly down the hall. His heart was filled with pride over how well things were going at this Nashua school. He walked up the stairs to the next floor of the two story building. Just as he reached the top of the stairs his nose caught a musty scent. His heart skipped a beat. Is that mold I smell? He thought. Wasting no time he followed the odor until he came to the attic. He opened the door. As his eyes adjusted to the dimness, he noticed a black slimy substance on the walls and floor – MOLD. Wasting no time he raced back to his office. He told his secretary to find him an excellent mold removal company. With children around, they had to remedy the situation as soon as possible. Mold growth is not acceptable in a school and this was going to be dealt with quickly.
The presence of mold
How and where does mold develop? Mold forms in places where the humidity is high especially if the structure has had contact with water. In this case the culprit was a small hole in the roof. If it hadn’t been raining, Max may never have noticed it. The moisture and humidity of the school made it the perfect breeding ground for mold. Mold is highly destructive. It can destroy clothing, books, and furniture; it can even cause structural damage. Mold can also be harmful to your health. It can cause respiratory damage to children, the elderly, people with mold allergies and those with weakened immune systems. Some symptoms are sneezing, watery eyes and coughing as well as skin irritations. Luckily, no one seemed to be showing any signs.
Preventing mold growth
While it is difficult to maintain a mold-free environment (mold is everywhere), Max took precautions. He had the roof repaired. Then he made sure areas where moisture builds were wiped down often (showers, sinks and the areas around them). He had ventilation fans like the ones in the shower rooms, installed in the bathrooms. He also researched dehumidifiers and found just the right ones for the rooms in the school.
