Moisture in a Wall Cavity Can Lead to the Need for Mold Remediation--Contact SERVPRO

Irwindale Property Owners Often Turn to SERVPRO for Mold Remediation

Mold can be a smelly fungus which can lower the value of your Irwindale home and create health effects for you and your family. It can be found in any moist area and can grow on walls, floors, and ceilings. Mold is most likely to grow in your kitchen or bathroom. However, there are no areas in your home which are immune to an infestation of mold. When you find it, it has to be dealt with quickly to stop it from spreading to clean areas.

It does not matter where you find the mold growing in your Irwin home. Mold damage keeps spreading and deteriorates whatever it is growing on if it is left alone. Professional help is also needed; it is not recommended for you to clean it on your own with regular household cleaners. Our technicians at SERVPRO are specially trained and certified to handle mold and remediate the growths.
 
The critical factor in the development of mold is moisture. There are always millions of spores in the air. Sometimes, they attach themselves to a surface to form a colony if the conditions in the environment are right. Unventilated areas of your home with stale air and moisture are breeding grounds for mold. It can even form in cold temperatures.
 
There is no way for you to prevent mold spores from infiltrating your home. It is possible, however, to control the amount of moisture and lower the chance of the spores forming colonies of mold. Fix any water leaks and let SERVPRO techs help you clean water-damaged areas within twenty-four to forty-eight hours. After this, mold can begin growing. We advise keeping the humidity level in your residence between 45-55 percent.
