There is mold all around us at all times, it is a part of the natural environment and has a job to do. Molds job is to break down organic material.
The challenge starts when you have had excessive humidity or direct water intrusion, mold can and usually does begin to form.
That musty dank smell, your basement or house should NOT smell like that and is one of the first signs that you have a mold issue.
Once it is visible to the naked eye, there are hundreds of thousands of spores.
Molds natural defense is to scatter its spores when it is disturbed. Once you get past a few feet of visible mold, you will need a professional to clean it up.
Please remember, BLEACH is not always the answer. Once the clean up is completed, the key is controlling the water and the humidity going forward.
If there is water, there could be mold
