Trusted Experts in Mold Damage Restoration
Mold can develop when materials remain wet for extended periods of time. Moisture intrusion may occur for many reasons, such as construction defects, plumbing failures, broken appliance water or drain lines, improper maintenance, or even weather-related events like storms and hurricanes.
When mold damage is discovered in your home or business, the most important step is to have it remediated as quickly as possible and to ensure that any remaining structural materials are dried promptly and thoroughly.
PuroClean’s certified technicians remove mold at the source, addressing both visible growth and hidden spores. Because mold often follows water damage, our team also identifies and fixes underlying moisture issues to prevent future outbreaks.

Establish a scope of remediation and repair by thoroughly inspecting the affected area/s.
Mold is a type of fungus that lives almost everywhere there is moisture, oxygen, and organic matter. Mold plays an important role in nature as it helps decompose organic material. However, mold found indoors can cause health problems, as well as structural problems to buildings.
Mold can begin to grow within 24 to 48 hours after water damage and it can spread quickly, especially when it is disrupted. Rubbing it or spraying air against it can cause the mold spores to break off into the air, potentially causing illnesses.
Both mold and mildew are part of the “fungal” group of organisms. They both produce spores, and mycotoxins and allergyns. They are, obviously, very similar.
IN GENERAL: mildew grows on living organisms: the mildew on flowers, powdery mildew on grass, etc. Most mold growth is on things that used to be alive. Mold grows on wood and paper and cardboard and wool and silk and leather, etc. Mildew grown on trees, shrubs and many living plants. What you see growing inside your home is probably some type of mold. All molds must have something organic on which to grow. When you see mold growing on something that is not organic (concrete, plastic, glass) then it is actually growing on the DIRT that is on those materials. Dirt contains enough organic material to support mold growth.
“Black Mold” refers to stachybotrys chartarum (Stachy). Stachy is somewhat common in warm, humid environments – much less common where it is cooler and/or dryer. Hundreds of different molds (and mildews) are “black.” It is impossible to identify molds by “looking at them.” It takes a laboratory to determine the specific species.
The time is directly related to the amount of mold and where it is growing. Jobs can take anywhere from 4 hours to 5 days, or longer. Every situation is different!
Individual policies will vary, so you should ask your insurance agent and/or adjuster if you’re eligible for coverage.

Understanding property restoration can be complex, but we're here to help. Dive deeper into key industry topics with our expert white papers, covering everything from water and fire restoration to biohazard cleanup and insurance processes.
Construction defects compromise a property’s structural integrity and create the perfect conditions for mold, necessitating mold remediation. A poorly constructed or sealed building can lead to excessive moisture and water leakage, creating an ideal environment for mold to flourish. Cracks in the foundation, incorrectly installed windows, inadequate insulation, and insufficient ventilation can all contribute to water intrusion, enabling mold growth.
Plumbing failures, like leaks or blockages, can lead to mold growth in a property. When water from these issues seeps into walls or floors, it creates a perfect environment for mold to thrive. When airborne mold spores collide with excess moisture, it can result in mold colonies. If plumbing problems are not addressed promptly, mold will take hold and require professional mold remediation.
Malfunctioning appliances, like leaky dishwashers, water heaters, ice makers, or washing machines, can lead to mold growth in a property. When water seeps into hidden, poorly lit surfaces, such as behind walls, it creates the perfect conditions for mold to develop. That’s why timely maintenance and inspections of your appliances are critical, as their failure can quickly cause mold growth that requires professional mold remediation services.
Neglecting property maintenance can lead to mold growth. Ignoring leaks, plumbing issues, poor ventilation, or roof drainage concerns can not only lead to mold proliferation but also be uninsurable. Not performing routine maintenance regularly can be a primary reason for insurance companies to deny a claim related to water intrusion.
Roof leaks can cause water to infiltrate your property, potentially causing mold to grow in your home or business. Often, the water will seep into an attic or dark crevice of your roof, enabling mold growth. If the problem is not detected in time, mold can spread, causing structural damage. Mold damage caused by roof leaks requires immediate attention.
Heavy rains, flooding, or excessive moisture caused by storms can create a breeding ground for mold. When water infiltrates homes or buildings, particularly in places where it shouldn’t linger, it sets the stage for mold spores to thrive and multiply. Even after the storm subsides, the moisture in walls, floors, and other structural elements can initiate a silent but potentially damaging mold invasion. Prompt action is necessary to remediate the mold.
Excessive humidity is the ultimate breeding ground for mold growth. When humidity levels exceed 60% relative humidity (RH) or higher, especially in enclosed spaces, the air becomes saturated with moisture and results in conditions that can allow mold growth. Areas like bathrooms, basements, crawlspaces, or poorly ventilated rooms are particularly susceptible. High humidity also inhibits proper drying, allowing mold to spread further.
