Mold Damage Emergency Tips

Mold growth can happen anywhere. 

Even the best-kept properties can have mold infestation.  If you see mold on your property, keep these important safety tips in mind. 

  • Do not disturb the mold.  Any disturbance may cause the mold spores to become airborne and spread.  The safest practice is to leave the mold alone. 
  • Spraying bleach may not solve your mold problem.  One of the most common phone calls we receive is from homeowners needing help after trying DIY mold remediation with bleach.  When not done properly, mold removal can cause mold growth to spread because its spores were disturbed and went airborne.
  • Stop the source of growth.  Mold is fed by moisture.  If you see mold near a leak, stop the water movement to that area if you can do it safely.
