The importance of preventing structural mold damage!!

There are several indicators to help you determine if you have mold in your home. Your senses will alert you right away. Sight- Mold is visible to the naked eye. You can see it with your very own eyes. If there is mold present, you can see its growth under water-damaged surfaces. Also, look for signs of cracking walls and discoloration. You should be concerned about mold in your home if you can see or smell it.

Structural damage is also a common factor in the presence of mold in your home. An example of this is when wood becomes soaked with water, the wood than dries and becomes warped causing walls to crack and the integrity of the structure to become weak.

Mold needs moisture to thrive and multiply. It can become extremely problematic. The dampness from flooding can seep into the walls, carpets, and wood. This moisture provides an excellent environment for mold to multiply rapidly. Mold is especially attracted to paper products such as wallboard used in many homes.
