How Mold Spreads
Knowing your enemy can go a long way toward keeping mold growth in check. Mold is all around us all the time. Microscopic mold spores are natural and very common. They don’t start to become a problem until moisture activates them.
Once the spores become activated, the patch of mold grows and continually releases more spores into the surrounding area. Eventually, mold finds its way into your HVAC system and then it really starts to spread. Air gets pushed around your home, spreading these small spores around your home for them to seek out more moisture and continue growing.
Contact UWRC Cincinnati for mold remediation in Loveland finds the source of the moisture problem, stopping mold growth at its source.
Mold Growth Prevention

- Manage humidity: Keep your home’s humidity levels below 60% if at all possible.
- Invest in a dehumidifier: Adding standalone dehumidifiers to basements and crawlspaces can head off mold.
- Improve ventilation: Adding exhaust fans to areas like bathrooms can help circulate air.
- Prevent moisture: The outside of your home can have a big effect on mold growth. Blocked gutters, for example, can force water onto your roof, creating leaks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are mold removal and mold remediation the same?
They’re similar, but the process is different. Mold removal is exactly what it sounds like, the physical process of removing mold. Mold remediation includes assessing mold growth, identifying moisture sources, and fully restoring damaged materials.
Are all mold types dangerous?
No. There are several types of mold that don’t create adverse health effects. The coloration, texture, and size of mold patches can indicate toxicity levels, though. Getting a professional to inspect the mold growth can let you know what type you’re dealing with.`
Can I just use bleach to get rid of mold?
Bleach is great at killing mold spores on the surface level. However, mold can penetrate deeply into certain materials. Applying bleach isn’t a replacement for mold remediation in Loveland, as it doesn’t get deep enough to fully clear it out.
How can I find the right mold removal company?
The main thing you’ll want to look for is IICRC certification. All of United Water Restoration Group of Cincinnati’s technicians hold this certification. You’ll also want to sign on with a company that maintains open communication and documentation about your mold problem for insurance purposes.
