Identifying Mold in Your Home.

4/29/2024 (Permalink)

Mold can come in many different forms and can be caused by many different things. To give you an idea, mold can form because of a leaking pipe, water damage from a storm, or even something as simple as moisture in the air. Regardless of the source, it is always recommended to never breathe in the mold because some forms can cause health effects. If you encounter water damage in your home, it is advised to call a SERVPRO® professional to complete a thorough inspection because sometimes it’s what you can’t see that can hurt you. For example, there could be mold behind the sheetrock in your walls that is growing and spreading rapidly. Mold usually takes around 24-72 hours to form so it is crucial to act fast to save not only the wall but also your health!
