How does Water damage cause mold problems?

Mold loves wet and damp areas.  It multiplies quickly and soon your entire home will be overtaken with mold and other harmful spores.  When a home or office experiences water damage it is highly likely that mold will form if the water is not taken care of by a professional. Water trapped in walls and under floors is not seen by the unaided eye and is often left by people removing water. This becomes an intense breeding ground for mold and other harmful bacteria.

What to do to prevent mold from forming

2. Ensure your home has air flow.
3. When a professional is called out to your home or business, after the water is cleaned up, special cleansing agents are used. These cleansing agents prevent mold from forming.
