Wall with mold Don't let it escalate!

We know that the mode is a critical issue when they come from home. There are different types of mold.

 Black molds that grow on cellulose surfaces such as wood, hay, or paper, are just one species of fungi.

Black Mold Damage Repairs

The most common causes of mold are water leaks, flooding, or extensive use of humidifiers in an enclosed space. Once affected areas are identified, determining the source of the moisture and how to stop it is the most critical step when assessing a mold problem.

Mold Damage Remediation

Remediation, or treatment of the mold problem, may involve several steps depending on the severity. It depends on the extensive surface molds can often be scrubbed away with soap and water. In addition, an air purifier may deal with mold spores already in the air. 

The mold is notoriously difficult to eradicate, and if any mold colonies or airborne spores are not destroyed, they may continue to grow and spread.

Fixing the source of the mold usually involves dealing with the water or moisture that allowed it to grow in the first place.

Homeowners can prevent or limit mold growth by keeping careful watch over the moisture in their homes. Always vent spaces where large amounts of steam accumulate, such as in the shower, kitchen, or any room that uses a humidifier. If a flood does occur, dry the affected area as soon as possible with SERVPRO's help before mold growth occurs.
