After discovering mold in your East Greenwich home or business, it's important to not touch or disturb the spores. A great way to ensure the spores are not disturbed is to turn off the air conditioning or heating unit, and turn off all fans. Spores are microscopic, and can easily be disturbed. Once spores are disturbed, they can easily multiply and cause damage in other areas of your property. It's important to call the professionals at the first signs of mold damage to do a proper inspection and create a plan to permanently remove any mold or mold damaged property.
