Before entering certain jobs such as mold removal or biohazard cleanups, it is important for our team members to protect themselves from potential injury or infection. Personal protective equipment (PPE) consists of protective clothing, helmets, goggles, or other equipment and garments designed to keep the body protected. We use PPE to protect our technicians from electricity, heat, biohazards, chemicals, and particulate matter.

Discovering mold in cabinets, below floor boards, in crawl spaces, or anywhere in the home is a homeowner’s nightmare. Understanding how mold grows and how to prevent it is pivotal information for any home or property owner. Below are some facts and tips that can help you keep mold from developing in your home.   

• Mold spores are present almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors.
• Mold spores are microscopic and float through the air. They may enter your home through windows, doors, or AC/heating systems or even hitch a ride indoors on your clothing or pet.
• Mold thrives on moisture. Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water. These colonies produce allergens and irritants.
• Before mold remediation can begin, any sources of water or moisture must be addressed. Otherwise, the mold may return.
• Mold often produces a strong, musty odor and can help lead you to possible problem areas.
• Even higher-than-normal indoor humidity can support mold growth. Keep indoor humidity below 45 percent.

If you do experience mold, SERVPRO is here to help. Our technicians are experts in mold remediation and will help get your property back so it’s “Like it never even happened.”

Confusion and misunderstanding surround the topic of mold and mold remediation. Some restoration businesses even make claims to remove all mold from a building. This is a fallacy. Mold spores occur naturally almost everywhere, both indoors and outdoors. These microscopic spores float along in the air and can enter a home or business through windows and HVAC systems.

Besides causing a major business interruption, mold presents a serious health risk to those exposed at your commercial property. Mold infestations can be caused by minor water intrusions, like a slow roof leak or a loose plumbing fitting. Every hour spent cleaning up is an hour of lost revenue and productivity. If you suspect your property has a mold problem, call SERVPRO of Natchez. We will respond quickly and work to mitigate the damage and restore the property, so it is “Like it never even happened.”

Mold can start out as a small problem, but very quickly turn into a much larger one. It can force you out of your home, become a large financial expense, and consume lots of your time. In this case, moisture around this cabinet area allowed mold spores to grow. Eventually, the mold spread throughout the entire room. 

If you have encountered mold in your home, don’t wait, call us at SERVPRO of Natchez at 601.304.5554. Our expert technicians will work quickly to make sure it is “Like it never even happened.”
