Mold and Mildew: Does Water Damage Always Cause Mold?

What is Mold?

At Relied Services, we frequently get asked, "What is mold?" Being in the water restoration business, it is a valid concern. According the FEMA, mold and mildew WILL LIKELY develop in JUST 24-48 HOURS. The quicker moisture is removed from the space, the less the likely the water damage and restoration process will turn into a mold remediation. The goal is to have you and your loved ones in a safe and dry environment.

We also like to caution that mold growth can occur from any kind of water. And yes, mold can grow from just one water leak. Mold spores develop and spread in the matter of days. It's all about timing.

The most harmful of the mold types is black mold because it affects the respiratory system causing allergies. If you suspect mold, give us a call as we would be happy to assist.
