When should I be worried about mold?
It's recommended that any discovery of mold should be assessed by a professional. Mold can be tricky to identify and address, and it's important to determine the extent of the problem and the potential health risks associated with the mold before taking any actions. A professional mold assessor or inspector will have the knowledge and tools necessary to properly assess the situation, identify the type of mold present, and determine the severity of the infestation. They can also provide guidance on the proper methods for remediation and prevention of mold growth in the future. It's important to hire a reputable and qualified professional to ensure that the assessment is thorough and accurate.

How long do mold spores stay in the air after cleaning?
Mold spores are a natural part of the environment and cannot be completely eliminated from the air. However, in order for mold to grow and spread, it requires a source of moisture and a food source. By repairing any water damage and maintaining indoor humidity levels between 30 and 50 percent, it is possible to prevent mold growth in homes and businesses. Regular cleaning and maintenance of areas that are prone to moisture, such as bathrooms and kitchens, can also help prevent the growth of mold.

Can you stay in your house during mold remediation?
Depending on the severity of the mold growth and the extent of the damage, it may be possible to remain in the home during remediation. However, this will depend on a variety of factors, including the type of mold, the size of the affected area, and the health status of the occupants. Professional mold remediation companies like SERVPRO will often erect containment barriers around the affected area to isolate it and limit cross-contamination with other areas of the home. This helps to keep the mold contained and prevent it from spreading to other areas of the home. It's important to consult with a professional mold remediation company to determine the appropriate course of action for your specific situation.

How does SERVPRO remove mold?
Mold containment is critical to prevent the mold from spreading to unaffected areas of the property, as cross-contamination can cause the mold to spread rapidly. The use of air filtration equipment with HEPA filters is also important to capture any airborne mold spores and prevent them from spreading.
Removing mold-infested materials is an essential step to ensure that all traces of the mold have been removed, as mold can grow deep within porous materials and be difficult to completely remove. Cleaning and restoration will then help to ensure that the property is restored to its pre-mold condition, and that any damage caused by the mold has been repaired.
Overall, this process sounds like it will effectively remediate the mold issue and restore the property to a safe and healthy condition for occupants.

How long after water damage does mold grow?
Mildew and mold are likely to begin growing within a day or two after a water damage occurs. Mold can develop very quickly, within 24-48 hours, and will continue to grow until its access to a source of water is removed. This is why it’s incredibly important to act quickly when water damage occurs to your property. Waiting too long to fix the damage could result in more problems, like mold.

Understanding Mold
When water intrudes into your property, mold growth can start in as little as 48 hours. Consider the following mold facts:
- Mold is present almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors.
- Mold spores are microscopic, float along in the air, and may enter your home through windows, doors, or AC/heating systems or even hitch a ride indoors on your clothing or a pet.
- Mold spores thrive on moisture. Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water. These colonies may produce toxins harmful to humans and pets.
- Before mold remediation can begin, any sources of water or moisture must be addressed. Otherwise the mold may return.
- Mold often produces a strong, musty odor, and that odor can lead you to possible mold problem areas.
- Even higher-than-normal indoor humidity can support mold growth. Keep indoor humidity below 45 percent.
