It's hard to beat mold--but you can try to contain it
By Bill Hendrick, Cox News Service. World News interview with Scott Zaeske owner and certified stucco and indoor air quality inspector Clearwater FL.
Mold--neither plant nor animal, but a fungus that grows, feeds and multiplies by spreading seeds called spores--is almost impossible to kill.
Spores are spread by the wind outdoors and by air indoors. Some are released in dry, windy weather. Others are released with the fog or dew when humidity is high. Mold spore counts go way up at this time of year, since mold thrives in dead and decaying plants. But allergic symptoms from fungus spores are most common from July to late summer.
Once mold grows in Sheetrock, wooden beams and carpeting, its life is virtually eternal. It can be fought, even temporarily contained, with disinfectants and other sanitizing solutions.
But ridding a home or any building completely of the stuff is almost impossible without spending thousands of dollars removing "infected" areas, including Sheetrock, paint, carpeting, wallpaper, even old shoes and baseball gloves.
Spangler stresses that, when it comes to mold, you can run, but you can't hide.
It's everywhere.
Which is why studies about the danger of mold have spawned a cottage industry of mold-buster companies that use high-tech gear to detect it.
The Atlanta Allergy and Asthma Clinics found in a study that "flareups in asthma cases were greater when mold counts were high than when pollen counts were high," Spangler says.
"Spore counts go up this time of year," he says. "Up to 25 percent of the population has chronic rhinitus, and of these, at least half have mold sensitivities. It gets on your clothes. Spilled sodas in movie theaters feed mold in seats and carpets. You can't get away from it."
That doesn't stop people from trying. Ms. Williams, 61, of Kennesaw, Ga., was so bothered by mold in her previous home that she had trouble breathing, so she sold it. And before buying her present house, she hired Mr. Scott Zaeske, a certified mold inspector, to check it out for any signs of the stuff.
He and his crew at All Stucco and Mold Inspections Inc. charged her $395.00 for a thorough check in which they used cotton swabs and high-tech gear that can detect mold or moisture behind walls, ceilings, in Sheetrock and attics.
"I feel relieved," she says. "No more mold."
The secret, Mr. Zaeske says, is to make pre-emptive strikes against mold.
Homeowners must fix leaky roofs, landscape yards so that water flows away instead of in, purchase dehumidifiers and remove anything that's moldy because mold also grows on mold.
Tips for fighting mold
- Maintain indoor relative humidity to 50 percent.
- Fix leaking pipes immediately and prevent water from intruding into your house.
- Use exhaust fans to increase bathroom and kitchen ventilation. Use air conditioning or dehumidifiers during the summer months and at times of high humidity, like the fall.
- Do not carpet bathrooms and basements.
- Clean hard surfaces regularly with a disinfectant product that has been proven to kill mold.
- Clean your gutters.
- Connect extension hoses to gutter spouts to make sure rainwater shoots away from your house.
- If you have a low spot near your foundation where water gathers, fill it up.
- Install vapor barriers in crawl space with plastic sheeting.
- Use dehumidifiers--at least one on each level of the home.
- Consider installing a French drain, designed to take water away from your house.
- Seal concrete or cement block walls.
- Consider installing a fan ventilation system in your crawl space.
- Make sure existing vents aren't covered.
- Use an exhaust fan in a bathroom for several minutes after a shower or bath. Use exhaust fans when cooking, and make sure they're vented to the outside--same for dryer vents.
- Soap and water do not effectively eliminate mold. While they can remove the mold stains, they do so by moving around the spores. The microscopic spores that remain can be invisible to the eye, yet are capable of quickly recolonizing. Stucco inspections near me, mold inspections near me.

Indoor Air Quality Testing
Background of a person coughing, with mold visible in testing and inspections, especially those with weakened immune systems, can develop invasive mold infections days to weeks after exposure to fungi that live in the environment.
It is what we don't see in the air that can harm us as we will find out your current indoor air quality in your home or business.
Exposure to indoor mold that grows as a result of water damage may increase this risk.
Often life-threatening risk factors include people who:
Have had a transplant, especially hematopoietic stem cell transplants, have cancer, especially hematologic cancers like leukemia and lymphoma, are undergoing cancer treatment chemotherapy, are taking medications that weaken the immune system, such as corticosteroids and biologics.
Signs and symptoms can vary depending on the patient, the type of mold, and the part of the body affected, but often include the following:
- Fever
- Cough
- Night sweats
- Weight loss
- Shortness of breath
- Sinus symptoms
- Dark scabs, blisters, or ulcers on the skin.
If you are a patient who has any of these symptoms and any of the risk factors described in this factsheet, consider testing for mold in your home or business.
Diagnosing an invasive mold infection requires multiple diagnostic tests. Results of these tests should be interpreted in the context of each specific patient.
These tests include:
- Culture of specimens from the affected area such as bronchoalveolar lavage, which is often used to detect lung infections.
- Biopsy of the suspected body part affected to obtain a sample for fungal culture and histopathology.
- Imaging of the affected part of the body e.g., chest computed tomography CT for respiratory symptoms blood tests such as Aspergillus Galactomannan, which are primarily used in immunocompromised patients.
Starting treatment early can help prevent deaths. Treatment includes antifungal medications and, in some cases, urgent surgery. Consider consulting an infectious diseases specialist to help with diagnosis and treatment.
After major flooding or other exposure to water damage and mold, talk with your immunocompromised patients about how to protect themselves from mold:
Mold grows where there is moisture, usually within 24-48 hours of flooding. Even if it is not visible, it is often present.
Immunocompromised people should not enter moldy buildings or help clean up mold.
If it is impossible for people with weakened immune systems to avoid a moldy building, they should talk with their doctor and consider wearing an N-95 respirator inside the building. Remind patients that this will still not fully protect them from becoming exposed to mold, but may reduce their risk.
If there is mold in your patient’s home, someone who is healthy and able should clean it up and fix any water problems.
Healthy people who clean up mold or spend time in areas affected by mold should wear full protective clothing including an N95 respirator, gloves, boots, long pants and long sleeves. An N95 respirator alone may not fully protect people from becoming exposed to mold and becoming sick.
