Mold Indoors

Mold Inside Your Home

Mold, whether active or inactive, becomes a threat whenever there is an unregulated flow of water within the home. Mold spores need a moist surface to thrive on. Unsecured pipes, leaky roofs, or even condensing water vapors can create these areas where mold can easily grow. Condensing humidity in your attic can lead to serious mold growth that can spread to everywhere in your home.

Mold Can Be Where You Least Expect it!

This photo is proof that mold can appear anywhere! When we arrived on location, there was significant amounts of visible mold in many places. As you can see in the photo, the mold is on the visible side on the wall. That almost always means that mold inside of the walls has already taken hold. 

In any case, do not be scared because SERVPRO of North Whitfield and Catoosa Counties is here to help you! Call us today at (706) 965-7378!

Beyond What The Eye Can See

This job, which at first glance looks to be a relatively small mold job, turned out to be the whole basement area. Why? A small leak can raise humidity levels in the home to the point where mold growth occurs in areas thought to be unaffected.

Remediating the entire floor of a building can be a daunting task when the customers insist on living in the home while services are being performed. But, through careful planning and execution, it can be done.

Personal Protective Equipment

PPE

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) will be worn by our crews for various reasons. OSHA online states “Personal protective equipment, commonly referred to as "PPE", is equipment worn to minimize exposure to serious workplace injuries and illnesses. These injuries and illnesses may result from contact with chemical, radiological, physical, electrical, mechanical, or other workplace hazards. Personal protective equipment may include items such as gloves, safety glasses and shoes, earplugs or muffs, hard hats, respirators, or coveralls, vests and full body suits.”

What Mold Can Do

Mold Indoors

Where it comes from..

In an outdoor environment, mold is instrumental in the breakdown of leaves, dead plants, and other foliage. Inside, though is an entirely different story. If mold spores make it inside your home, they tend to find wet areas and will reproduce from there. 

Effects of Mold

There are microbial spore counts everywhere you go, but if those counts are high enough within your home or business it could spell disaster. Aside from possible negative health effects, mold could weaken your walls, ceilings, floors, and structure.

Luckily SERVPRO is here to help!
