Protection Against Mold
Mold spores exist both outdoors and indoors, and when there is excessive moisture in a house and ambient temperatures over 70F-degrees, they can germinate within 24-hours and spread quickly. Along with thorough drying and frequent monitoring of the air quality during mitigation, SERVPRO technicians perform proactive applications to inhibit the growth of mold, so it is not an issue in the future as a result of the fire.
