Moisture Is the Main Culprit that Fuels Maryville Mold Infestations

Mold appears in your Marysville home because it has the ideal conditions for growth. Like most living organisms, these conditions are temperature, food supply, and water. A residential property provides ample organic matter for microbial organisms. Drywall, wood, textile, and insulation are potential food supplies for mold. Equally, comfortable indoor temperatures usually match those ideal conditions for microbial growth. The surest way to tackle mold issues is by addressing their water supply. SERVPRO remediation technicians not only clean and restore moldy materials but can also implement essential preventative measures to stop mold from returning.

What could be the cause of damp spots?

• Internal plumbing cracks splits or slow leaks 
• Insulation issues that could lead to condensation
• Indoor humidity levels, particularly in wet rooms like kitchens or bathrooms

Does drying a property combat mold?

The most effective mold remediation method for your Marysville home is strategic drying. Drying the property may involve demolition to expose hidden materials in the house. It may require applied structural drying (ASD) techniques and equipment like injectidry systems. Perhaps the most common method of controlling mold growth is through dehumidification. Dehumidifiers can be either refrigerant or desiccant. Usually, a refrigerant dehumidifier is adequately equipped to bring down relative humidity and handle mold growth.

Is it possible to measure and control humidity in one area of the home?

Our SERVPRO AMRT technicians have the training to use specific devices like Thermo hygrometers and moisture sensors to attain a consistent RH of 55% or less.
