What Do I Need To Know About Mold?

When water intrudes into your property, mold growth can start in as little as 48 hours. Consider the following mold facts:

• Mold spores are microscopic, they float along in the air, and may enter your home through windows, doors, or AC/heating systems or even come indoors on your clothing or a pet.
• Mold spores love moisture. Mold spores can quickly grow when exposed to water. 
• Before mold remediation can begin, any sources of water or moisture must be addressed and dried out. Otherwise, the mold may return.
• Mold can often produce a strong, musty odor.
