Please read on to learn about the real facts about microscopic growth (mold). 

Mold Facts and Myths:  

• There is always, sadly, a little mold everywhere.
• Mold is found both indoors and outdoors. Mold can enter your home through open doorways, windows, vents, and heating and air conditioning systems. Mold in the air outside can also attach itself to clothing, shoes, and pets can carry it indoors.
• Never mix bleach with ammonia or other household cleaners to combat mold. Mixing bleach with ammonia or other cleaning products will produce dangerous, toxic fumes.
• Mold is often the result of excess water damage and SERVPRO professionals have the advanced equipment to locate microbial growth. 
• Not all molds are dangerous to our health. Some types of molds are actually used in medicines and in our food (such as specific cheese).
• Preventative actions do reduce the possibility of mold outbreaks. Preventative action can be done by controlling the humidity in your home, proper ventilation inspections, and inspecting for any small leaks regularly.
