Spores Easily Propagate Mold Colonies in a Home

Microbes are everywhere, including in clean, sanitary places like a hospital or clinic and our houses. When the water vapor inside your Setauket residence increases, reproducing becomes much easier for any existing microbes. Increased mold colonies make mold damage easier to harm your home's interior. We also attend to any related water damage.

SERVPRO® wants our customers to understand how mold damage happens to Setauket homes. When an air current or other disturbance occurs near an existing area with mold-producing spores, the mold instinctively releases spores into the air. These microscopic spores travel within the air until they slowly settle somewhere. Spores that land in suitable environments can develop into a thriving infestation.

This damage is why SERVPRO wants to help families prevent mold damage in the first place. Colonies of mold:

• Destroy your home's interior, 
• Create bad smells wafting through your residence, and 
• Leave stained surfaces, including clothing.

Mold needs organic substances to survive. Choice materials in the typical home include drywall, paneling, and carpeting. As microbes eat away at these materials, the substances break down for two reasons - the consumption as a food source and also because the microbes' hyphae cause the material to physically disintegrate. SERVPRO understands the steps to restore or replace materials affected by mold damage.

Each time spores enter the air, they remain there until they collide with something. Inhaled spores cause receptors in the nose to register foul, distinctive odors. SERVPRO handles odors from mold infestations, too.

Mold damage includes stains on building materials and textiles. Textiles consist of bedding, window dressings, and clothing. We have specialized treatments for these items.
