What Causes Mold to Grow?

5/17/2017 (Permalink)

Everything you've never wanted to know about mold!
 
If your home or business has mold problems, it's probably from these conditions:
 
Mold spores
A food source (Wood, drywall, etc.)
Darkness
Warmth
Oxygen
and Moisture
 
But really, the key item above is moisture, as every home has the other conditions. What it comes down to is -- does your home or place of business have a moisture problem?
 
When San Diego has its periods of humid weather for a few days in a row, you may start to notice mold in your home. After several days of rain it's fairly common to see mold start to grow because of the wet air.
 
Mold can be especially prevalent if you live near one of San Diego's beautiful beaches. Coastline properties in San Diego are incredible, but can sometimes suffer from recurring mold problems.
 
To help prevent mold damage at your home, try to keep your apartment, condo or home properly ventilated. The most important places in your home to ensure proper ventilation include the kitchen and bathrooms.
 
If you have mold in your home or business, call SERVPRO of San Diego City SW. We're available 24/7 at 619-269-5004 for all of your mold remediation needs.
