Mold Damage – How Mold Grows

Mold requires a wet environment to grow, such as a basement, bathroom, attic or water damaged area
Mold damage usually starts as a consequence of improperly controlled water damage.
Mold spores typically begin growing within 48 to 72 hours after a water loss.
Many molds require a high level of moisture to grow, but can survive and reproduce at much lower moisture levels, sometimes as low as standard indoor humidity levels.
Mold growth can be prevented only with quick and efficient drying. This removes the moisture necessary for initial mold growth before it begins.
