The Relationship Between Mold Damage and Water Damage
Posted: Jun 09, 2023
Author: AdvantaClean of West Knoxville
Mold is everywhere. It grows indoors, outdoors, and underground, and its spores hitch a ride in the air. Furthermore, it grows in moist, damp, humid, and wet areas. This makes it super easy to get a mold infestation in your home or building, leading to mold damage if left unchecked. That said, is there a clear-cut relationship between mold damage and water damage?
As you might have guessed, the answer is yes. Mold damage and water damage usually go hand in hand. When water damage occurs, whether from a leaky gutter/pipe or a basement flood, the excess moisture seeps into vulnerable surfaces of your home, such as ceilings, drywall, and wood floors. The resulting water damage creates the perfect conditions for mold to take root and multiply.
Another unfortunate trait that both mold damage and water damage share is that they can sneak up on you. Mold damage, in particular, can be challenging to spot. It typically grows in hard-to-reach areas, such as under the sink or in the basement, where hidden water damage might also occur. Plus, it spreads fast and can begin festering in your property within 24 hours of water damage.
The first proactive step to avoid mold and water damage is undertaking immediate damage repair. This typically involves calling a professional to assess the situation and perform the necessary remediation measures. And in cases where there’s no visible mold but you still sense a musty smell, a professional mold test can help determine its presence.
Remember to always be vigilant about any signs of water or mold damage. Call us today at AdvantaClean of West Knoxville if you suspect either on your property.
