High Tech Mold Detection and Removal in Manhattan

Mold emerges in significant colonies when they are presented with three factors. They need a food source, moisture and warmth. Private and commercial properties provide all three factors but to varying degrees during different seasons. If only two out of the three factors are present, it is still insufficient to have significant elevations in mold. However, dwellings prove to be thriving breeding grounds as all three factors are present since humans are comfortable in warm and moist habitats. The mold's other food source is provided from cellulose-based dust and materials such as drywall, natural-fibre carpets and even dead human skin.
