Whatever the color, finding mold in your home can be quite alarming. Contact SERVPRO to investigate and remediate the infestation.

Why Mold in Your Mesa Home Is Cause for Concern

Finding your Mesa residence on the wrong side of an emergency or disaster can leave you questioning how to set things right again. More to the point, some widespread concerns take some time to surface or get discovered, letting them get out of control before you recognize there is a problem at all. Mold growth is one of these circumstances that can develop quietly and spread quickly without the homeowner even recognizing there is an issue.

One of the most alarming things about mold damage in your Mesa home is how little many homeowners know about it. Many of these same homeowners could be led to believe that mold growth in their home is not a dire concern at all, but rather something that many property owners deal with from time to time. What makes this line of thinking so dangerous is the effect that mold does have on both the house and the people who live in it. Once you understand these effects, you can understand your need for professional remediation like our SERVPRO technicians provide.

The first thing that you need to understand about mold growth in your home is the detrimental effects that it has on the structure itself. The organism begins to grow and colonize in the presence of persistent dampness and moisture, which these elements alone can weaken structural components to a threatening stage. When you combine the mold growth, the organism feeds on organic matter and degrades the materials to the point of requiring replacement or failing completely. This failure can require substantial rebuilding or remodeling to replace irreparably damaged materials.

There are also the potential health effects from the colonization that you have to worry about as well. From the moment that you discover the mold colony, you and those within the house could have already been affected. Isolating the affected area and preventing it from spreading can keep the occupants of the house safer, but also gives our SERVPRO technicians a smaller area to restore.

Mold damage in your home can be unnerving to discover but does not have to be the damaging force that it can be. Our SERVPRO of Grand Junction applied microbial remediation technicians can respond quickly to help eliminate this presence from your house and return it to the way it used to be.
