Take control of the Mold around you

5/7/2020 (Permalink)

A growing concern for homeowners and renters is the possibility of mold. It’s a valid concern as mold can pose real health hazards. This concern is especially valid with schools and commercial buildings which tend to have a high volume of foot traffic as well as occupants of varying ages and degrees of health. Being pro-active is the key to overcoming this concern.

It is important to come to terms with the fact that mold is everywhere. There is no such thing as a "mold-free building". Mold spores cannot be seen with the naked eye. They can become air born with even the slightest of movements and can attach themselves to any surface and begin to grow. 

What’s the best way to control mold?

Here are 3 easy steps you can implement right away:

1. Have good Ventilation

2. Repair water leaks ASAP

3. Act Quickly; dry wet areas within 48 hours

If you’re concerned that your home, apartment or office space may have mold, call the Mold Remediation experts at SERVPRO of East Riverside to take a look. The EPR has great information on mold in commercial buildings and school campuses.
