SERVPRO Effectively Tackles BOTH Visible and Hidden Mold Damage

We rely on our homes in Kendall to keep us warm and dry. Most of the time, they handle this very well. However, sometimes our homes let us down in this regard. Dampness or water can make it into our homes and increase the risk for mold growth. Because some molds can cause health effects for you and your family, it is essential to get the problem handled as soon as you realize there is mold growing in your home.
 
Mold and mold damage in your Kendall home can pop up just about anywhere where the conditions are right. Sometimes they begin in a hidden area, so you might not know they are there right away. SERVPRO techs can assist you in finding the colonies of growth. We have the experience and tools to do this and to clean it all up before it spreads any further.
 
Average mold, such as black mold, or Stachybotrys chartarum, thrives in damp, dark, and unventilated conditions. The less it is disturbed, the more they can spread. You may not even realize that mold has been growing for months, or even years, out of sight in your home. Some go against traditional conditions and can grow in colder temperatures. Fusarium and Cladosporium are both tolerant to cold temperatures. They can develop on fabric, carpets, and wooden surfaces quite easily.
 
Some molds emit an unpleasant odor that is musty. You may notice them faster in these cases. Chaetomium is one of the smelliest kinds you can find. SERVPRO techs look for this type of mold on drywall and other nearby surfaces.
 
When moisture is the culprit of mold growth, there are a variety of areas in your home in which it can grow. It includes underneath appliances like the washer, water heater, dishwasher, and fridge. It can also include pipes and connections to these appliances. Pipes can leak and may have condensation which leads to mildew and mold.
