Dear SERVPRO of Catonsville,

What should I do if I find mold in my home?

Water damage is one of the many causes of mold growth in a home. If you see visible mold, do not disturb it. You can inadvertently spread the mold infestation throughout your home. When mold is disturbed, the mold can release microscopic mold spores which become airborne and can circulate inside your home.

What Not to Do:

• Don’t touch or disturb the mold.
• Don’t blow air across any surfaces with visible or suspected mold growth.
• Don’t attempt to dry the area yourself.
• Don’t spray bleach or other disinfectants on the mold.

What to Do:

• Stay out of affected areas.
• Turn off the HVAC system and fans.
• Contact a trusted professional for an inspection and mold remediation services.
