Mold Spotting In The Ceiling

Mold can grow anywhere there's a food source and moisture. You need to be very careful when it comes to keeping your home from getting mold. All it takes for mold to grow is to have a moist environment, room temperature conditions and an organic food source for mold to feed off of and you are able to see visible mold within 48 hours. As seen in the pictures above there was hidden mold behind the drywall ceiling. Our techs at SERVPRO professional cleaned the mold from the ceiling drywall and made sure that no more mold was found. Some ways that you can prevent and control mold are, by vacuuming and cleaning daily, and by avoiding carpet flooring in the bathrooms and basements of your homes because those are the two rooms that are involved with water the most. Having carpet flooring in your bathrooms can cause mold to grow quicker than usual because of all the moisture that is in the bathrooms. From your steamy showers, to water dripping on the floor after washing your hands, moisture is present in the bathrooms. Lastly, make sure your home has adequate ventilation, always make sure your bathrooms and or kitchen has vents so the moisture can be sucked out instead of it turning into mold. Take these tips into consideration to keep mold from growing in your home.
