Water Damage & Mold

5/7/2019 (Permalink)

Mold can thrive in humid and moist conditions.

Why does mold grow in some areas and not in others?

Mold tends to grow in humid conditions on moist surfaces. If your building has suffered past water damage or has a poor ventilation system, then mold will find a home on surfaces or inside walls. If you find mold growth in your business or home be sure to take the necessary steps to prevent further mold growth.

Prevent mold from staking a claim to your property!

• Have an Environmental Professional inspect your building for mold
• Call your local SERVPRO professionals to mitigate or clean up the mold
• DO NOT USE BLEACH to clean up the mold
• Monitor the humidity in the building
• Install a proper ventilation system
• Do not let water damage sit for long periods of time, it takes 48 hours from mold to germinate and grow.  

Our SERVPRO professionals handle water damages every day and understand prompt action is required to prevent old growth.
