Mold can start growing as quickly as 24 hours after the flood. From the time water touches your carpeting, the clock starts ticking. And, the longer water sits, the more damage it can cause.
Here are a few things you should keep an eye on:
1. Smell: A strong, musty odor is the most obvious sign of mold growth.
2. Respiratory issues: Mold growth can lead to a variety of health issues if left untreated.
3. Discoloration: Mold growth may appear on your carpet and the padding underneath. If you see dark spots or any type of discoloration, contact our mold removal specialists immediately.
