• Mold and Mildew

Mold and mildew enjoy dark and damp areas. Hot weather, is also the perfect breeding ground for mold and mildew. It is important to keep your home less humid.

Your basement or crawl spaces are perfect for mold growth. If you see mold, call a professional disaster cleanup service immediately.

• Foundation Issues

With dry weather comes foundation problems. If your foundation dries out, it could crack. This is why you see cracks in concrete. It is because of the drier weather.
