How Quickly Does Mold Grow?

Learn how much time you have to react to a mold problem.

It varies wildly on the circumstances, but it’s safe to say that mold can take 24-48 hours to develop.

If there’s a lot of moisture and organic material for the mold to eat, then the situation can grow out of hand very quickly.

The more the mold eats, the more it grows. The more it grows, the more it eats. It’s a cycle that doesn’t end until you’ve dealt with it.

This is why we highly recommend you react at the earliest signs of mold.

What to Do If You've Got a Mold Problem?

Call in an expert to do an assessment of the situation. This is what you should always do.

Most mold issues should not be handled by the homeowner, as it’d be necessary to mitigate the moisture source and then clean the mold, with both of the tasks requiring a lot of work, equipment, and proper training.

Not only can it be very difficult to restore the damage, but it could also be risky for your health.

Also, the moisture source can at times be hard to detect and/or remove, and mold would simply be coming back if not neutralized properly. It can also be the case where there are multiple sources of mold, making the situation even more complicated.

This is why the water and mold damage necessitates a professional company like Superior Contract Cleaning to have it restored. Feel free to give us a call if you need such assistance.
