Mold and your Property
10/6/2021 (Permalink)
Mold is everywhere, in and out of structures. It enters inside through entryways, outlets, chimneys, air conditioning components, windows, you name it! Outside air can attach itself to your belongings as well, when entering your home or workspace: purses, backpacks, bottoms of shoes, pets, and clothes.
Once inside, mold looks for moist spaces, such as leaks in windows, roofs, or pipes. It spreads quickly onto cardboard, ceiling tiles, wood products, and even common paper products. What’s so tricky is that they can also hide in spaces that are not as visible to us: dust, paint, wallpaper, drywall, carpet, upholstery, and insulation.
If the sight of mold is found on your property, we here at SERVPRO of South San Francisco City / San Bruno highly recommend that an Industrial Hygienist be contacted to run tests for the presence of Mold Growth. Once this thorough assessment has taken place, a “Written Mold Protocol Report for Mold Remediation” is created, which our team will work diligently with you to get things back to normal, "Like it never even happened."
SERVPRO of South San Francisco City / San Bruno is ready to assist with any mold related questions, as well as provide referrals for Industrial Hygienists. Call us today 650-794-1000.
