Mold thrives in environments with excess moisture and poor ventilation. Left unchecked, it can damage your home and pose serious health risks. These are the most common reasons mold grows in your home
High indoor humidity levels, especially above 60%, create the perfect conditions for mold to grow in warm, damp areas of your home.
Hidden leaks in pipes, roofs, or appliances allow water to collect inside walls and floors, providing a prime environment for mold.
Flooding that isn’t cleaned and dried within 24-48 hours leaves behind moisture that quickly leads to mold growth.
Lack of airflow in spaces like bathrooms, kitchens, or basements traps moisture, making it easy for mold to thrive.
Conduct a detailed inspection to locate mold and identify moisture sources, using tools like moisture meters and infrared cameras to find hidden issues.
Set up barriers to isolate the affected area, using plastic sheeting and negative air pressure to prevent mold spores from spreading to unaffected parts of the home.

Replace or repair damaged areas, including walls, flooring, and insulation, to restore the home to its original condition.
