Mold Damage Restoration: Be Very Concerned if There’s Visible Growth

Mold damage restoration is often needed when there has been excessive moisture or humidity in a home or business for an extended period of time. The issue can be caused by a sudden release of water (such as a large spill that goes untreated or a burst pipe) or a chronic condition (like a leaky roof or faulty plumbing). Even warm, moist air or high humidity on cool surfaces can generate mold problems. It’s always advisable to have the situation evaluated and dealt with by a mold damage restoration specialist.

If conditions permit, mold can grow virtually anywhere in a building. If you see visible growth on wall surfaces, you should be very concerned about what might be growing on the opposite side of the wall. The environment in indoor walls is vastly different to that of exterior walls because of moisture. If a wall remains wet for an extended period, you can almost guarantee that the mold on the back side is far worse than what you see on the front. Do not waste time – call a professional!
