Unhealthy mold inside a house can cause a health threat!

Unhealthy Mold and Fungi

No matter how big or small, an intrusion of water into your home can result in mold growth. Water damage can result from storm damage, plumbing or equipment failures, long-standing leaks, and poor humidity control. When water intrusions are not fixed immediately, the sitting water can present increased risk of harmful mold growth. If the humidity and moisture levels in a water-damaged environment aren’t quickly returned to normal, mold spores may grow and multiply. Organic materials found inside a building such as wood, paper, drywall and insulation, provide food sources for mold to flourish. It is important to know that excessive mold growth can lead to indoor environmental conditions that can pose a health threat. Whether you discover damage in your permanent home, beach condo, or office SERVPRO of Baldwin County has all the training, equipment, and knowledge to make it look "Like it never even happened.”
