A water damage-one that has either been mishandled or gone undiscovered-can result in visible mold growth in as little as 24-48 hours.

A strong preventative maintenance program can help property owners stop moisture problems before they start. A primary focus should be maintaining the following: roof, drainage system, windows, doors, plumbing, and HVAC systems. In addition to preventative maintenance, building owners should also have a strong reactive maintenance plan in place for when unexpected events transpire, including having SERVPRO of South Orange County provide through and fast water clean up.

TIPS TO PREVENT MOLD

-Keep the humidity level between 30 to 60 percent.

-Keep gutters and drains clear of debris.

-Inspect the roof, windows, and other areas where water might enter the building, and perform necessary maintenance.

-Contact SERVPRO of South Orange County (407) 226-2621 immediately upon discovering water damage or mold in your building.
