I Have Mold. What Do I Do?

3/25/2020 (Permalink)

There is a lot of confusion and misunderstanding about the topic of mold. Some restoration companies make claims to remove all mold from your home or business. This is false. Mold spores occur naturally almost everywhere. Microscopic spores float along in the air and can enter into your home or business through windows and HVAC units.

• Mold is everywhere
• Mold thrives on moisture. Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water.
• Before mold remediation can begin, all sources of moisture or water must be addressed or the remediation was for nothing and the mold will return.
• Mold often produces a strong musty odor.
• Higher than normal humidity indoors can support mold growth. It is best to keep indoor humidity below 45%.

If you suspect mold growth in your home or business it is best to call a certified professional like SERVPRO of Jackson/Crockett County to address this situation. Our technicians are trained in how to properly treat each mold strain. We also test the mold to be 100% sure on how to remedy your exact mold type.
