Mold Remediation and Restoration in Boone and Howard Counties

5/2/2018 (Permalink)

Have you discovered mold in your home or business? Here mold has been found behind drywall.

When a water source (leaky roof or plumbing) is introduced to a home or business, it can quickly become infested with mold. Mold can spread throughout a property in 48-72 hours. It has the potential to produce allergens and irritants that may cause additional health effects.

When you suspect mold in your home or business, SERVPRO of Columbia can inspect and assess your property. If mold is discovered, we have the training, equipment, and expertise to handle the situation.

Mold exists almost everywhere, including indoors and outdoors. This makes it impossible to remove all mold from a home or business. Read over the following mold facts:

• Mold spores thrive on moisture and can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water.
• Mold spores are microscopic and float in the air. They can enter your home or business through AC/heating systems, doors, or windows.
• The source of water or moisture must be addressed before the remediation can start. If not, the mold can return.
• What’s that smell? Mold can produce a musty odor.
• Higher than normal indoor humidity can aid mold growth. It is best to keep humidity below 45 percent.

If April showers leave you with a moldy May, contact the professionals at SERVPRO of Columbia. We are here to help our fellow communities in Columbia, Ashland, and Centralia surrounding areas.
