A delay of just a few hours can greatly increase the severity of the water damage.

So What's Causing The Mold In Your Albany Home?

• Flooding from storms coming from outside
• Sump pump overflow
• Roof leaks from damaged roofs, ice dams or blocked gutters
• Rain from storms through window frames, exterior walls, or doors
• Leaking pipes, sewer back-ups or overflows
• Damp basements due to high water table or badly managed water drainage
• Condensation on cold surfaces

Mold needs these 3 main things to thrive and stay alive:

• High humidity
• Warm or temperate Temperature
• Poor ventilation

Mold is easier to prevent than it is to clean so keeping a watch on common sources of mold and maintaining a dry, ventilated home and drying homes from water damage within 24 hours of the incident is the best way to prevent mold from happening in the first place.
