Mold can hide!

Mold can hide in many places after a water damage.  Our highly trained professionals had to remove several layers of flooring in the kitchen of this Woodbridge home to properly remediate.  The customer had a delay in calling for a water damage and mold started to grow between the flooring and subfloor.

Where mold grows:

  • around windows where moisture condenses
  • near leaky sinks or pipes
  • on basement walls or in a crawlspace
  • on bathroom tile
  • in or near shower and tub areas
  • on exposed insulation facing in attics
  • in washing machines
  • on the refrigerator’s gasket or water dispenser drip pan

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the top places mold hides include:

  • the backside of drywall
  • behind wallpaper or paneling
  • on the top side of ceiling tiles
  • underneath carpets and pads
  • inside walls around pipes or on wood framing (due to leaking or condensing pipes)
  • the surface of walls behind furniture (where condensation might form)
  • inside ductwork
  • in roof materials above the ceiling (due to roof leaks or insufficient insulation)
