Medford is one of the older cities in the Boston Metropolitan Area. Located along the Mystic River northwest of Boston, the city is home to historic neighborhoods, suburban neighborhoods as well as industrial and retail business areas. Historic homes can be particularly prone to mold due to their potential for having poor insulation, aging roofs and siding and susceptibility to high humidity. The topography of Medford also means many homes are built on slopes and granite ledge which can impact drainage around the foundations. Homes in river valleys are also prone to basement flooding.
Moisture is a key component to mold growth. When homes and businesses suffer from a mold problem it’s usually due to moisture issues ranging from basement flooding, roof leaks and plumbing leaks to poor attic ventilation and high humidity. Mold thrives on many surfaces such as drywall, wood, tile grout, and even cement, so it’s important to remove the problem before it spreads. Mold can cause extensive structural damage to buildings as well as significant health problems for the occupants. PowerBees provides fast, expert mold removal services for the Medford area.
