Mold doesn't just grow on old food. It is a household parasite that usually develops as a result of water damage. Mold is sneaky and can range from a simple annoyance to incredibly dangerous. It can affect not only a building but also the air within it, sparking allergies and other health issues. It's also important to remember that summer months are prime time for humidity, and if humidity isn't properly taken care of it can cause just as much mold as a pipe leak or flood.
Don’t let yourself or your family become victims of mold. Check your basements, attics, cabinets, and other areas in your home that are exposed to high levels of moisture or humidity on a frequent basis. If you do find or if you think you've found mold, please contact your local SERVPRO®. Our specialists will be more than happy to come in, identify the type of mold and the source, and make a plan for how to handle it. Nobody wants to have mold in their home, and we can help to make it, “Like it never even happened."

Understanding Mold
Some restoration companies advertise “mold removal” and may even guarantee to remove all mold. This is a fallacy because removing all mold from a house or business is impossible; microscopic mold spores exist almost everywhere, both indoors and outdoors. Here are the facts:
- Mold is present almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors.
- Mold spores are microscopic and 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 allergens and irritants.
- 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 can lead you to possible mold problem areas.
- Even higher-than-normal indoor humidity can support mold growth. Keep indoor humidity below 45 percent.
