951-494-6040Mold is a type of fungus that grows in damp, warm, and poorly ventilated environments. It reproduces through tiny spores that float in the air. When these spores land on a moist surface, they begin to grow and spread. Mold feeds on organic materials like wood, drywall, and fabric, which makes homes and buildings ideal breeding grounds.
Mold requires moisture and warmth to grow. Typically mold grows between 60°F and 80°F (15°C to 27°C), but it can grow in cooler environments if there is sufficient moisture for mold to grow.
Basements, bathrooms, kitchens, and areas with leaks, such as behind walls or under floors, are the most common places where mold grows.
Mold can grow within 24 to 48 hours of exposure to moisture or water damage. If the situation is left unaddressed mold will take over your home. It takes a few days to a week to spread all over the home.
The faster you act the more easier it is for you to get rid of this. If you notice any visible mold, count on our experts for effective mold remediation solutions.
