With the summertime heat right around the corner, it isn’t uncommon to find moisture and heat coexisting on the same surfaces in your home. According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, mildew (mold in early stage) and molds grow on wood products, ceiling tiles, cardboard, wallpaper, carpets, drywall, fabric, plants, foods, insulation, decaying leaves, and other organic materials. Recently SERVPRO Brea/Yorba Linda helped a distraught client that was headed out of town before she discovered harmful mold growing in her home.

Our client was initially distressed because she was all set to go to New York when she noticed the hazardous green and black mold spots but she still didn’t want to cancel her travel plans. The experienced SERVPRO Brea/Yorba Linda mold damage remediation team immediately rushed to her rescue to create a mold damage repair plan. The SERVPRO Brea/Yorba Linda technicians identified, assessed, and cleared the mold in the structure of her home by using a specialized anti-microbial disinfectant treatment to prevent the spread of mold spores that can make one sick and spread infectious diseases.

Mold poses the biggest health threat for infants, children, pregnant women, the elderly, and individuals with existing respiratory conditions.

One way to detect mold in your home is to look out for any foul, musty odors. Often dangerous mold spores are located in air ducts and wall cavities and mold may not be seen but is still present. Mold grows rapidly in dark damp crevices so the best defense against mold damage is prevention.

• Keep it clean: If you notice any musty odors, which can occur before the mold spots show up, use bleach, borax, or vinegar to disinfect the area thoroughly.

• Do the laundry: During the summer many of us like to go swimming, but don’t leave soiled clothes out in places where they will not dry within an hour.
