What You Should Know About Water Damage and Mold in Your Home

If you have sustained and untreated water damage problem, it’s likely to lead to a mold and mildew problem. This is simply because mold growth indoors is usually linked to a moist, damp environment. Water damage and mold in your home can occur as a result of:

• Insufficient drying and de-humidification of the air, floors and walls in your house
• Flooding, leaky roofs, poor building maintenance and indoor plumbing problems
• Basement water damage, drainage and ventilation problems

A single episode of flood damage can cause mold and mildew to grow inside the walls and underlying foundation and building structure. A period of high humidity can result in a sudden and widespread mold problem. Under the right “nurturing” conditions, mold and mildew can become a problem overnight!
