If you’ve experienced flooding in your home, from a pipe burst, storm damage, or another form of excess water, there’s an increased risk of mold growth in your home. When your flooring and furnishings become soaked through, they transform into an optimal breeding ground for mold.
If you’ve experienced water damage of any kind, it’s best to seek the professional services of a water restoration company right away to avoid the health risks and property damage that mold can cause. Contact Maven Construction Group today to request a free quote.
Water damage can happen in various ways, including slow leaks from roof damage or broken seals around toilets. No matter the source of the water, it should be dealt with immediately. If you’re unsure if there’s a leak, it can be a good idea to have a professional perform a water leak detection inspection. Not only does water create mold, but it can cause other issues around your home, such as weakening the infrastructure.
Scheduling restoration services is the best way to deal with any flooding or leaks in your home. Using tried-and-tested water extraction methods, we can dry all areas of your home, even places that are hard to reach, such as under floorboards and behind walls.
Every home, no matter how clean it is, contains mold spores. However, floodwaters and leaks can carry more spores, making them ideal for mold to take hold and start to spread. After water damage, mold growth can begin as fast as 24 to 36 hours. Unfortunately, mold requires very little to start growing.
Mold can grow on many different surfaces throughout the home, including ductwork, drywall, carpets, ceiling tiles, wallpaper, wood products, roofing materials, and wall cavities. Enclosed areas with high humidity, little airflow, and temperatures between 40 and 100 degrees Fahrenheit are especially prone to mold growth.
Once mold starts growing, it can be quite challenging to get under control because of how fast it can spread, not just in the specific area, but through the air and into other spots. In fact, it can even be dangerous for non-professionals to try to treat mold on their own.
Left untreated, mold can pose both short-term and long-term health complications for human tenants and their pets, including allergy-like symptoms and respiratory complications. To ensure the health of your household, schedule mold cleanup services promptly.
