Mold, Moisture and You

4/25/2018 (Permalink)

Mold is naturally occurring in our environment. With over 100,000 identified varieties one can assume mold is everywhere. Not all 100,000 varieties are harmful, in fact many molds add value to our lives. However, excessive amounts of mold can pose a health concern for some people.

An intrusion of water into your home or commercial structure can result in mold growth. No matter the cause, when a water loss is not dealt with right away the resulting damage can present increased risk of harmful mold growth.  If the humidity and moisture levels in a water damaged environment are not promptly returned to acceptable levels of dry, mold spores may grow and multiply.

A properly mitigated water loss leaves no excess moisture behind to support mold growth. If mold growth has gotten a head of you, call                   SERVPRO Golden/Wheat Ridge/Evergreen  at 303-279-8055 for professional water loss mitigation and mold remediation.
