Mold Damage

Molds are very common in homes and buildings and will grow anywhere indoors where there is moisture. In as little as 48 hours, mold can quickly become a problem in your home or business. Mold can cause health effects and can also cause significant damage to your property. Mold can come in a variety of colors including white, gray, green, red and blue – but black mold is typically the most infamous variety.

A musty, earthy smell (like dirt and rotting leaves) is a sign of mold’s presence. Stachybotrys (associated with black mold) smells especially strong. People might experience systems such as nasal stiffness, irritation of the skin or eyes, or wheezing when exposed to molds. Furthermore, some people may have more severe reactions to molds, experience fever, shortness of breath and even death.

What NOT to Do

• Don’t touch or disturb the mold.
• Don’t blow air across any surfaces with visible or suspected mold growth.
• Do't use any canned or packaged food or beverages that may have been stored near the fire, heat or water.
• Don’t attempt to dry the area yourself.
• Don’t spray bleach or other disinfectants on the mold.
