Mold Facts: Ascension Parish

Commercial Mold Remediation in Ascension Parish.

Mold and fungi naturally occur in our environment, both outdoors and indoors. This makes it impossible to remove all molds from a home or business. 

When water intrudes into your property, like roof leak or leaking water line, mold growth can start in as little as 48 hours. Consider the following mold 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.
  • These conditions may require the expertise of a qualified Indoor Air Quality/Environmental Professional to test and inspect the building for mold growth.

Our team of highly trained professionals understand mold and mold growth. Call SERVPRO of Ascension Parish to safely restore your building to preloss condition.
