SERVPRO of Spring Valley/Jamul

Dramatic gushing water leaks are horrifying, but at least you know about them right away. A slow leak from a broken HVAC or from something under the foundation is like a monster in the closet. It may stay hidden. It may give some hints that something is wrong (are the water bills to high? Is there an odd and musty smell?) It will come out, and when it does, you’ll really want to scream.

If there has been excess water for over 24 to 48 hours at a time, it’s likely there is also mold.

Call us --  SERVPRO of Spring Valley/Jamul – as soon as you know there’s a problem.

Frightening and Fascinating Information about Mold

1. Remember we mentioned the monster in the closet? That’s probably mold or just the mold spores.
2. It is likely impossible to kill all the mold spores in any area. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) notes that mold spores can survive even in out space, and they advise homeowners to not trust a business that claims to eliminate mold spores.
3. Mold spores are tiny (can’t see them without a microscope) and lightweight; they are always around.
4. Mold develops after 24 to 48 hours of constant exposure to water or high humidity (about 67%)
5. Mold is a decorator’s dream (or nightmare). It can be:

• White
• Purple
• Blue
• Green
• Red
• Orange
• Pink
• Yellow
• Tan
• Brown
• Black

6. Mold eats everything you would eat, your pets would eat, and most things you wouldn’t eat. Mold eats:

• Drywall and plaster
• Many paints
• Wallpaper
• Wood
• Some plastics (!)
• Cotton, wool, ramie, linen
• Skin cells
• Anything your pet sheds or expels

7. That musty smell you noticed before you saw the water damage? It’s mold

We could go on and on, but then we wouldn’t be able to tell you about the band we want to form: Fun Gus and the Fungi.
