Mold Remediation and Restoration

Mold growth is a common occurrence in the city of Cranston. Mold typically grows after moisture has been introduced into your home because of humidity or worse, water damage. A leaking pipe under a sink or behind drywall can cause mold growth after 24 hours. Black mold can be visible in less than three days if the leaky pipe is not fixed and the water damage dried and cleaned. SERVPRO of Cranston are experts in mold remediation. Our cleaning technicians are certified to eradicate both visible mold and mold spores. However, the best way to avoid mold growth is to give us a call as soon as the pipe break is noticed. Cleaning up the water damage keeps mold growth from occurring.

Understanding Mold

Confusion and misunderstanding surround the topic of mold and mold remediation. Some restoration businesses even make claims to remove all mold from a building. This is a fallacy. Mold spores occur naturally almost everywhere, both indoors and outdoors. These microscopic spores float along in the air and can enter a home or business through windows and HVAC systems. Consider these facts:

  • Mold is present almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors.
  • Mold spores are microscopic and float along in the air and may enter your home through windows, doors, or AC/heating systems or even hitch a ride indoors on your clothing or a pet.
  • Mold spores thrive on moisture. Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water. These colonies may produce allergens and irritants.
  • Before mold remediation can begin, any sources of water or moisture must be addressed. Otherwise, the mold may return.
  • Mold often produces a strong, musty odor and can lead you to possible mold problem areas.
  • Even higher-than-normal indoor humidity can support mold growth. Keep indoor humidity below 45 percent.
