It doesn’t take long at all for black mold to find its food source and begin to grow in ideal conditions. In fact, within the first day, spores begin to multiply and affect air quality in a space. Mold problems may not be visible for up to 2 to 3 weeks, but by that point, the growth will be more difficult to mediate, and the air quality will be very unsafe.
When water damage has occurred, get in touch with your homeowners insurance company and a water damage restoration company like ATI Restoration so you can receive mold removal services before the situation becomes critical.
