Mold Growth

Are you aware of what signs to look for after experiencing water damage? Mold can develop quickly if conditions aren’t managed properly following such an event. Preventing microbial growth is crucial. Immediate mitigation is essential to prevent visible old growth, which can appear in as little as 24 to 48 hours under certain conditions. Here are some tips to prevent mold growth:

• Maintain indoor humidity between 30 to 60 percent
• Ensure proper drainage away from building foundations
• Regularly inspect plumbing and appliances for leaks
• Keep gutters and drains clear of debris
• Inspect the roof, windows, and other potential water entry points and regularly and perform necessary maintenance
• Respond promptly to any water intrusions
