Crawl Spaces & Hidden Mold Discussed in New Video

PHOENIX - Feb. 23, 2014 - PRLog -- Today, the IAQ Video Network and Cochrane & Associates announced the release of their latest educational video.  Their newest production discusses hidden mold in homes and buildings with crawl spaces.

Many property owners with a home constructed on a crawl space may go years without ever inspecting the area under the building for leaks or other types of moisture damage.  These problems can quickly develop and unless the area is periodically inspected, problems may go unnoticed until they have become a major issue.

“Any moisture that accumulates in a crawl space may also enter other parts of a building and contribute to potential mold growth in those areas,”said Paul Cochrane, President of Cochrane and Associates, the company behind the IAQ Video Network and the new public outreach video.  “Just as moisture can spread from a crawl space into a home or building, so too can any mold that is growing in the crawl space.  Airborne mold spores and fragments can enter a home or building through cracks and openings.  Crawl spaces are also often used to house air ducts from the HVAC system.  These ducts often have leaks and openings that could potentially help to spread mold from a crawl space throughout a building. We hope this video helps to shed some light on this important health and safety topic.”

This educational video was sponsored by a number of organizations and leading industry professionals that help to protect the public’s health. Sponsors include: EMSL Analytical, LA Testing, Mold Solutions & FastMoldRemoval.com, Clark Seif Clark, Zimmetry Environmental, EC2 and Healthy Indoors magazine to name a few.
