Mold in Basement

Mold exposure is a lot more common than you think! Whether it’s that funky orange film that forms in your kitchen sink, black spots on your shower tiles/curtains, or even a few fuzzy patches on your basement carpet.

Here are some quick tips to prevent mold growing in your home:

• Dry wet areas immediately
• Prevent moisture with proper ventilation throughout your home
• Equip your home with mold resistant products
• Monitor the humidity indoors
• Invest in equipment (Dehumidifiers)
• Direct water away from your home
• Shut Windows & Doors when your AC is on
• Cover the floor in your Crawl Space
• Keep an eye out for standing water in your Basement or Crawl Space
• Last but not least, call a professional!!

Homes can quickly become infested with mold! Sometimes in as little at 48 hours, in some cases, where water is present! Fortunately, here at SERVPRO Long Beach/Oceanside we specialize in 24 hour emergency service for Mold Remediation.
