Wet weather doesn't always cause mold.

Did you know mold can easily be prevented.  Often people are concerned about mold coming back after a remediation project.  Its real simple keep things dry and mold won't grow.  I didn't say mold won't be present.  Mold is everywhere all the time.  However, that's an entire different blog.

If you think about areas or materials being dry vs wet when you notice the presence of mold.   Where do you usually see mold growing?  Dark, damp, warm or wet area is most common.  Sunny and warm tends to keep things drier. 

Mold will not grow just because something suddenly got wet either.  Get it dried out or at least the drying process started within 48 hours and you should be in good shape. 

When ever in doubt give SERVPRO of Hyde Park / Central Austin a call.  We will be happy to discuss your concern and take a look at it for you.
