Mold thrives in high moisture, low air-circulation environments. Mold and mildew can develop in as little as 24 hours so acting immediately is very important for prevention. It can grow everywhere but thrives on surfaces that store moisture, such as upholstery, fabric, paper, wood, drywall, and carpet.
Start cleaning the water as soon as possible to help reduce the risk of mold growth in your home or business after water damage.
Depending on the severity of the water leak or flooding that caused the water damage, you may need to remove the water before you can begin cleaning. Our professional services can remove water efficiently. If it is not a significant amount of water, you can also use a wet vacuum or towels.
Generate as much airflow as possible throughout the affected area. This will help dry the carpet as well as reduce bad odors. A dehumidifier will also greatly benefit the area by removing moisture from the air that helps mold grow.
Use a mixture of bleach and water to clean the affected areas. Spray and wipe down baseboards, walls, cabinets, etc. Do not use the bleach mixture on fabric items or carpets, as it can cause discoloration.
