First thing, mold does not have to be a mystery. Understand that mold is everywhere.

Thus, homeowners should be looking out for mold infestations. As a high concentration of spores, from species like Aspergillus, making allergies worse.

Furthermore, if mold takes over keystone structures like wooden panels, it compromises the structural integrity of the home.

Stopping mold is simple with these steps:

• Anywhere that homeowners can find water is where they might require mold
  removal services. This is why we recommend checking water-connected appliances.
• Hoses should be replaced every ten years, unless it is clear they have suffered damage.
• Hidden pipes, in kitchens and under cabinets, need checking for leaks and pipe sweating.
• Areas that are high in humidity, like laundry rooms and bathrooms, need ventilation. Mold thrives in environments that have 70% humidity or more. Adding a small fan can reduce the likelihood of mold.
• Ventilation is key, the last thing you want is moisture sitting on your ceiling and walls after a nice hot shower without proper ventilation.

If at all during your inspection, you discover a fungal infestation, then call the mold removal team at SERVPRO of Bowling Green and W. Lucas County for fast and affordableservices. We will make it like it never even happened.
