What is Mold?

Mold behind cabinets due to water damage

SERVPRO of Tracy would like you to have some fun facts that a person should know about mold before calling the professionals in. Outdoor mold exists nearly everywhere. Most likely, every home has mold somewhere.

Not all mold is harmfully toxic but it can certainly cause allergy problems. Mold helps break down, or decompose, organic material. 

Mold growth in a home is not limited to flooding & water damage – any exposure to moisture such as a lawn sprinkler, condensation, steam (as from an unvented shower in the bathroom) or periodic leaking that is not attended to will foster the growth of mold. 

And your homeowner insurance may specifically exclude coverage for damage directly related to mold.
