What Makes Mold Grow?
Mold enters your home as tiny spores. These spores need moisture to begin growing, digesting, and destroying structures around it. Mold can grow on almost any surface, including wood, ceiling tiles, wallpaper, paint, carpet, sheetrock, and insulation. Mold grows best when there is a lot of moisture from things such as a leaky roof, high humidity, pipes bursting, water damage, or flooding.
How Long Does the Mold Removal Process Take?
Our mold remediation process timeline depends on how much mold is present, where the mold is growing, and what materials the mold is growing on. Most mold remediation processes take anywhere from one to five days.
How Do I Know When Professional Mold Removal Is Complete?
You will know mold is removed properly by looking at the area of the home or building to see there’s no mold present, as well as having third-party testing done to ensure the remediation process was successful.
How Many Types of Mold Are There?
While there is no consensus on how many types of mold there are, it could range from tens of thousands to more than three hundred thousand types.
What Are Some Ways I Can Recognize Mold?
Mold often has a strong, musty smell and usually grows in basements, attics, under carpets, in closets or crawlspaces, and behind walls. It often leaves stains on walls, ceilings, and furniture. Mold can be visibly detected by its discoloration on surfaces, with colors including white, black, brown, green, tan, and purple.
Is Mold Damage Covered by Homeowner’s Insurance?
Every homeowner’s insurance policy is different, so it’s important to review your own policy or talk with your insurance agent to know if mold damage and remediation are covered.
