Mold Growth Prevention Tips

4/12/2023 (Permalink)

When water damage happens to your home or business, you aren’t dealing with water damage alone. If you let water damage sit for a few hours without calling the professionals, you create the perfect outlet for mold to flourish. It only takes about 48 hours for mold to spread throughout your West End home or business, so the clock is ticking when your property has experienced a flood. Luckily, mold can be easily prevented if you follow some simple steps, which we have listed down below. However, if you continue to experience mold damage issues, there’s no better restoration company to call than SERVPRO of Belle Meade and West Nashville. With our top-of-the-line technology, experienced crew, and 24/7 emergency response timing, you can count on us to take your home or business back to its preloss condition. 

How Can You Prevent Mold From Growing In Your West End Property?

• Humidity is a leading cause of mold growth. Even slightly higher than normal humidity is enough for mold colonies to thrive. You can prevent mold by keeping indoor humidity at no higher than 45%. 
• Did you notice a leak in your property’s walls, roof, or plumbing? You may want to take care of that before any signs of mold show up. Leaks in your property give mold enough room to grow, especially after a water damage incident. 
• Check that air in the building is free-flowing, meaning that exhaust fans vent in places like the kitchen and the bathroom and not in any closed spaces where moisture can spread as a result. 

What Can SERVPRO Do To Remediate Mold In West End?
