Stachybotrys and Other Fungi a Major Issue in Water Damaged Properties

March 4, 2013 - PRLog -- When water damage in a building is not quickly and properly addressed, it can result in mold rapidly contaminating parts of a building.  In fact, mold can begin to grow in many circumstances in as short as 24 to 48 hours.

Mold growth on building materials can result in structural damage, decreased property values and serious health concerns for building occupants.  One of the more commonly found types of mold in water damaged buildings is Stachybotrys chartarum.

Over the past decade there have been numerous media reports about Stachybotrys that have often referred to it as toxic mold.  Stachybotrys has been found to have the ability to produce the mycotoxin known as trichothecenes.  Trichothecenes are powerful inhibitors of protein synthesis. In addition to concerns over mycotoxins, Stachybotrys and many other types of fungi are known to cause allergies and trigger asthma in susceptible individuals.

When mold growth is found indoors, it is important to have it remediated properly to prevent making the situation worse.    Mold growth can be removed from some hard or nonporous surfaces.  If mold stains are found on wood, such as in attics, wall cavities and crawl spaces, one of the most effective ways to remove them is with MMR mold stain remover.

“MMR mold stain remover is the product of choice with the mold remediation industry and with DIY homeowners due to its unique ability to eliminate the need for scrubbing, sanding and blasting,” stated Chris Heller with FastMoldRemoval.com, the distributors of MMR.    “The product provides for a fast and easy spray application that instantly removes mold stains on contact.  MMR penetrates the porous nature of contaminated building materials, quickly leaving surfaces clean and free from troublesome mold stains.”
