Pure Air Pros

Mold is often referred to as a silent invader, thriving behind walls, under floors, and in damp, dark places you rarely check. It doesn’t knock before it enters your home, and by the time you notice it, you and your family may already be suffering from the effects.

At Pure Air, we specialize in identifying, treating, and preventing mold infestations with our patented dry fog technology, a safe, effective solution that requires no demolition and is verified by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. If you’re wondering whether mold might be lurking in your home, this guide is for you.

What Is Mold and Why Does It Grow?

Mold is a type of fungus that spreads through airborne spores and thrives in moist, humid environments. All it takes is 24-48 hours for mold to begin growing on wet surfaces after a water intrusion, like a leaky pipe, roof damage, or poorly ventilated crawl space.

Common indoor mold types include:

Aspergillus (common in HVAC systems)
Cladosporium (often found on wood and textiles)
Stachybotrys chartarum (aka toxic black mold)

Mold doesn’t just grow where you can see it. It flourishes in hidden areas, crawl spaces, attics, air ducts, and behind drywall, making it difficult to catch before it becomes a health hazard.

Health Risks of Indoor Mold Exposure

The CDC, EPA, and World Health Organization all agree: exposure to indoor mold is harmful. The effects can range from mild allergic reactions to serious respiratory conditions, especially for children, the elderly, and those with compromised immune systems.

Mold-related symptoms may include:

Chronic coughing or sneezing
Sinus congestion and throat irritation
Skin rashes or eye irritation
Asthma attacks and difficulty breathing
Unexplained fatigue or brain fog
Worsening of autoimmune conditions

Toxic molds like Stachybotrys release mycotoxins that can affect neurological function and long-term health. If you or your family are experiencing any of the above symptoms, especially if they improve when you’re away from home, mold could be the hidden cause.

At Pure Air, we address the root cause of mold, not just the visible effects. Our team is dedicated to breaking the mold cycle and restoring your home to a healthy, safe environment.

The Cost of Ignoring Mold in Your Home

Beyond health, mold silently damages your property. It feeds on organic materials like wood, drywall, and insulation, compromising your home’s structural integrity.

Unchecked mold growth can lead to:
Rotting floorboards and wall framing
Decreased home value
Failed home inspections
Costly insurance claims that are often denied if mold was preventable

Mold is not just a cosmetic issue, it’s a property-destroying force that only gets worse with time.

Prevention Tips: How to Keep Mold Out of Your Home

Mold prevention starts with moisture control. Here are some expert tips from the Pure Air team:

1. Control Indoor Humidity

Keep humidity levels between 30-50% using dehumidifiers and HVAC systems with proper ventilation.

2. Fix Leaks Immediately

Address leaky roofs, windows, pipes, and appliances as soon as possible.

3. Encapsulate Your Crawl Space

Your crawl space could be the #1 source of mold growth. Pure Air offers expert crawl space encapsulation to eliminate this risk and protect your air quality.

4. Schedule Annual Inspections

An annual mold and moisture inspection can help identify early-stage problems before they spread. We offer FREE inspections across North Carolina.
