Finding mold on the walls of your home can be something that causes panic. Call us at SERVPRO to quickly come out and remediate the damage.

SERVPRO Technicians Understand That Many Factors can Lead to Mold Damage in a Residence

While it might seem like common knowledge that mold growth in your Boynton Beach home could be problematic for the house and its occupants, many homeowners drag their feet on taking care of the problem when they discover it in their homes. One thing that is certain, no mold growth goes away on its own.

Apart from the potential health effects that you could experience due to mold damages in your Boynton Beach residence, the house itself is also at risk. This organism breaks down organic material as it grows and thrives, eating through vital construction materials used throughout your residence. There are some ways to avoid its growth altogether, and these are helpful in preventing this damaging presence in your house.

Moisture plays a vital role in the colonization of mold spores. It is why our SERVPRO professionals look to isolate and repair the source of moisture and dampness when we get dispatched to a remediation project. Lingering and persistent dampness is a food source for naturally occurring microscopic mold spores, allowing them to seat into organic materials in the area and begin to spread.

There are areas of your home that get used less than others, such as your attic space. Roof damages from storms passing through the area can allow for moisture leeching into this space above the ceiling. If the moisture does not get resolved, it can allow for microbial growth in as little as three days. Regular inspections throughout these less used areas of your home can help you to identify problems before they get out of control.

This inspection is another one of the services that our SERVPRO team can offer, helping to provide you with some assurance that mold colonization has not occurred in your home. Furthermore, our technicians can identify potential risks and hazards, preventing a colony from forming by restoring water damages as they get discovered.

It might not be easy to think of mold growth in your home, but it is something that must get addressed as quickly as possible. With the risks to both the occupants of the house and the building itself, trust in the rapid response of our SERVPRO of Boynton Beach remediation technicians. You can reach our team 24/7 by calling (561) 413-9754.
