Mold Remediation Professionals in Concord Talk About a Few Common Causes

When a fungus exists inside your Concord home, it means that excessive moisture has come into contact with organic materials. Sometimes during a mold remediation project, the source of the excessive moisture can be difficult to locate. Contamination that is not visible to the plain eye can still cause issues to your structural components. Since fungi like to form in cool, dark places that get affected by moisture, it is likely they will develop in tight, confined spaces. If you think you might need mold remediation work conducted at your house, it is wise to call in a professional restoration company like SERVPRO.
 
Our team of experts has experience in dealing with various types of situations, and they have a trained eye that can find contamination in the most unexpected places. When completing any mold remediation project in Concord, it helps to know where mold likes to develop. By using their experience, our SERVPRO technicians can find issues, and they can also find the source in most situations. Knowing the source of the initial problem can help us figure out all of the places that moisture went. Once we follow the moisture we can usually determine where any contamination will exist.
 
One common cause of fungal growth is persistent humidity. Areas that have humid climates are especially susceptible to suffering from humidity issues. Mold that is caused by humidity often grows on walls, in closets, or under the kitchen sink.
 
Another common cause for microbial contamination is leaky pipes. Leaking pipes can contribute to a ceiling or wall mold, and if contamination is seen near a water source, it is wise to inspect for a broken pipe. Water pipes that are broken can also cause problems to develop behind your drywall or inside under sink cupboards.
 
Any time moisture gets where it is not supposed to be you are at risk for contamination. If your home ever suffers from any type of fungal contamination, call SERVPRO of Marlboro / Concord at (978) 486-9868 any time of the day.
