Restoring the Effects of Mold Growth in Your Provo Home

Moisture and dampness are two things that you do not want to battle in your Provo residence. While these conditions can prove damaging enough to the structure of your house on their own, they can also allow for detrimental effects like mold growth to occur. When this situation happens, you need to react quickly to preserve your house and to keep any potentially harmful health effects from impacting the people and pets that live inside it.

One of the things that many homeowners do not realize about mold damages in Provo is that they can affect anyone. While there is misinformation about the way that mold develops or that it has something to do with the cleanliness of your home, this is never the case. Any home that meets the conditions necessary for present mold spores to seat and colonize deal with the effects and damages that the organism causes throughout the affected area. Fortunately, our SERVPRO applied microbial remediation technicians are here to help.

The first thing that you need to understand about mold is that it can cause much damage to the structure of your house, specifically in the areas where the colony seats. As the organism grows, it requires organic material to feed and thrive, and it can find this sustenance through eating the construction materials and contents of your home suitable to sustain the colony. Materials like drywall and wood framing are particularly susceptible, and if the colony seats too long in these areas, they can become too fragile and weakened to preserve.

Our remediation technicians can get to work quickly on assessing the spread of this fungus throughout your home and reducing its ability to continue doing so. Specialized equipment like air scrubbers can stop active spores from leaving the quarantined area while the professionals work to remove the colony and restore the damage it has caused.

Mold growth in your home might not seem like that considerable of a risk, but in just a short period, a colony can get out of control throughout an affected area. Spores can travel through air circulation systems to seat in new areas of your home and continue growing and spreading.
