What causes Mold?
Mold can develop in as little as 48 hours wherever excessive moisture is present. After water damage has occurred, mold is to be expected.
Shower leaks, pipe breaks, sump pump failure, floods, or any other type of water damage can supply the moisture required for mold growth. It’s important that these types of issues are addressed before they turn into full-on mold contamination.
Detection of Mold
Your eyes and nose can be used to hone in on mold contamination, although that is not always the case. Symptoms of mold within a building may include:
- Inexplicable presence of musty odors.
- Colored, fuzzy or slimy blotches on walls or other surfaces.
- Water stains on walls, ceilings or other surfaces.
- Excessive moisture and/or water damage that’s been present for over 48 hours.
