The Hidden Dangers of Mold
Mold growth is often triggered by excess moisture and humidity, spreading quickly within 24-48 hours. Mold spores are microscopic and can infiltrate HVAC systems, walls, and even personal belongings. For sensitive groups—such as those with asthma, allergies, or weakened immune systems—mold exposure can lead to respiratory issues, skin irritation, and other health problems. SERVPRO’s expertise in mold remediation helps mitigate these risks and restore a healthy environment.SERVPRO’s Mold Remediation Process
