Conditions In La Puente/City of Industry West Might Be Right For Mold

12/22/2023 (Permalink)

Mold in Kitchen Cabinet Mold Inside Kitchen Cabinet

A great variety of molds exist and are very common in both indoor and outdoor environments. While mold and humans can sometimes co-exist without issues, there are certain types of mold that can cause health effects for some people.

If the right conditions exist, mold will grow. Those conditions include:

  • Water - Different mold types require the presence of liquid before they start to expand.
  • Temperature - Indoor temperatures can promote mold growth.
  • Time - Initial mold colonizers can take hold within one day after being exposed to an adequate water supply.

Mold growth can occur in any home, so it’s important to keep an eye out for situations that might promote mold activity. Any leaks, wet basements, or condensation that moisten  insulation are a few examples that make a home a prime target for mold growth.

If you suspect mold in your home, call SERVPRO of La Puente/City of Industry West at (626) 330-1027 to assess the situation; and please remember to remove yourself from the affected areas and turn off apliances that conduct airflow (such as fans).
