  • If there has been water leaks - act fast!

  • If damp materials or areas are not dried within 24-48 hours, mold WILL grow.

  • Keep the humidity levels in your home between 30-50%.

  • If there has been water damage on your property, it is important to to address all water/moisture issues when beginning the mold remediation process.

FIND THE MOISTURE,

FIND THE MOLD

Mold reproduces through tiny spores, invisible to the naked eye, and floats throughout outdoor and indoor air, landing on wet surfaces, which help them grow. Mold’s various entryways can be through things such as windows, doors, HVAC systems, clothing and even pets. So once the spores find their way onto moisture, it can take less than 72 hours for the mold to spread.

How Does Mold Spread?

Are There Methods to Remove and Prevent This?

Absolutely! Mold only grows when there is moisture. Controlling humidity levels and addressing all moisture issues within your property can prevent indoor mold growth.
