Mold is present almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors and has been on the Earth for millions of years. Mold naturally occurs almost everywhere, both outdoors and indoors. This makes it impossible to remove all mold from a home or business. Therefore, mold remediation reduces the mold spore count back to its natural or baseline level.

1. Mold grows well on paper products, cardboard, ceiling tiles, dust, paints, wallpaper, insulation, drywall wood, carpet, fabric, and upholstery.
2. Mold spores thrive on moisture. Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water. These colonies may produce allergens and irritants. Even higher-than-normal indoor humidity can support mold growth. Keep indoor humidity below 45 percent.
3. Mold in your home can require cleaning, sanitizing, demolition, removal, or other treatment, of mold or mold-contaminated matter.
4. Mold spores are microscopic and float along in the air and may enter your home through windows, doors, or AC/heating systems or even hitch a ride indoors on your clothing or a pet.
5. Mold can spread throughout a property in as little as 48 hours, quick action to deal with the problem is paramount.

If you suspect that your home or business has a mold problem, SERVPRO  can inspect and assess your property. Before mold remediation can begin, any sources of water or moisture must be addressed. Otherwise, the mold may return.
