What risks are associated with mold growth?
If mold is detected within your home or business, avoid the contaminated space. Mold is capable of spreading rapidly, and can cause unwelcome health issues.
In particular, children, elderly persons, and anyone with breathing trouble or allergy sensitivities are most at risk. It is important they leave the area until the problem has been assessed and/or remediated.
As soon as possible contact a trustworthy mold remediation specialist to arrange the safe disposal and cleanup of the mold-compromised location.
In the meantime, protect yourself from mold spores by wearing a quality mask, safety glasses, and rubber gloves whenever near the mold infestation.
Can’t I just scrub or bleach mold away?
Absolutely not. Attempting to scrub away or using bleach on visible mold won’t address the cause of the problem, and you risk spreading the mold to other areas.
When it comes to mold, it's best to leave it to the professionals.

Mold warning signs & precautions
To prevent your home or business from a potential mold infestation, there are a few areas of your property that you may want to review. Catching mold before it spreads can make a big difference in the scale of the restoration process, and knowing what to look out for may save a lot of headaches down the road.
Inspect exterior conditions
Clean and repair roof gutters, have your perimeter drains inspected and flushed regularly, and ensure the ground around your home or business slopes away from the foundation so water can flow downhill from the structure. Do a visual inspection of your building and property after a heavy rainfall.

Watch for condensation
Condensation or moisture can collect on interior windows, air conditioners, walls, pipes, and more. If moisture is present, mold may populate and spread quickly to other areas. Wrap insulation around any exposed plumbing, such as in a crawl-space or basement, and fill any cracks in exterior siding.

Ventilate & exhaust
Appliances that produce moisture (clothes dryer, stove) must be ventilated outside, rather than into attics or wall cavities. Clogged or poor venting may increase humidity and moisture levels. Turn on an exhaust fan or open the window when you shower, bathe, or run the dishwasher to avoid steam caused by these activities.
