When water penetrates into your home or business, mold growth can start in as soon as 48 hours. Consider the following mold facts:

• Mold is EVERYWHERE!  Indoors and outdoors. But how much is indoors and outdoors are the two most important thing to know when determining what you have to do about it.
• Mold spores are microscopic and cannot be seen with the human eye.  They float in the air and can enter your home through open windows and doors, or AC/heating systems or attach to your clothing or a pet to get inside your home. 
• Mold spores LOVE moisture. Mold spores quickly grow into colonies when exposed to moisture. These colonies may produce allergens and irritants and have the potential to cause other health effects. 
• Before we can begin mold remediation, all sources of moisture penetrating the structure must be addressed, or the mold may reoccur post remediation.
• Mold often produces a strong, mildew odor, and that smell can create problems for your indoor air quality and can limit you from enjoying your home. 
• Higher-than-normal indoor humidity can perpetuate consistent mold growth. Keep indoor humidity below 45 percent through using consistent dehumidification.
• Change air filters in your HVAC units to prevent transference of mold spores through your home through the ducts of your HVAC system.
