Understanding How Mold Grows When Water Damage strike your property, Mold Growth can start in as little as 48 hours in the right conditions but usually takes 72 hours to really take hold.
- Mold Spores are microscopic and float along in the air and can enter your home through windows, doors, or AC/heating systems. Sometimes they can even enter your home on your clothing or a pet.
- Mold Spores thrive on moisture soaked materials. Mold Spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to Water Damaged materials such as drywall or gypsum board, Carpet and Padding. These colonies of Mold Spores produce allergens and irritants and cause other potential health effects.
- Before any Mold Removal or Remediation can begin, all wet or Water Damaged material must be removed from the property and dried out correctly to prevent further Mold Damage.
- One sure sign that Mold is present in the property is that it produces a strong musty odor. Keeping the indoor humidity levels below 45 percent will help stop the growth.
Some molds are highly toxic. If you have an allergic reaction to mold or a heavy infestation inside your home, call in a pro IMMEDIATELY to analyze and test, don’t take any chances.
What Do I Do If I Discover Mold
When discovering Mold anywhere in your property, Don’t disturb it. Immediately contact a Mold Remediation Professional that is licensed and has the proper training and experience to effectively Remediate and Remove the Mold. At the Mold Removal Team, we follow a multi-step process to not only Remove the Mold but to prevent it from returning.
1. Address Any Water Source That Might Be The Cause
Indoor Mold growth will only occur when there is an available water source. This water source must be identified and stopped to prevent the Mold from spreading and returning. After the water source is addressed, the affected area and materials need to be dried or removed.
2. Containment Is A MUST
Mold spores travel by air, and when disturbed can send thousands of microscopic Mold Spores into the air to travel throughout your home or commercial property if not properly contained. Before we begin any Mold Remediation Process, we setup negative-air machines, set up containment and use air scrubbers to trap the tiny Mold Spores during removal.
3. Mold Removal

Continuous air monitoring of Mold levels throughout the removal phase until the levels are within normal range to start Reconstruction.
