Keeping Mold out of Your Carpet with SERVPRO® of Springfield

7/25/2018 (Permalink)

Completely drying your carpet after a water damage is key to avoiding mold!

Your local mold remediation and carpet cleaning technicians at SERVPRO® of Springfield would like to talk about mold in your carpets. Did you know that once carpet becomes wet, mold can set in? The moisture can cause mold to grow and spread in as little as 48 hours. Once a carpet has become wet it is imperative to dry and clean it as quickly as possible. If all of the moisture is not removed and mold begins to grow, an odor or stain may appear. If this happens, it is important to have the area remediated by professionals as quickly as possible in order to avoid putting anyone at risk for health related issues.  

Once the area has been remediated, future problems can be avoided by keeping carpet out of high-humidity areas. Basements, bathrooms, kitchens and laundry rooms are better with a sealed tile as opposed to carpet!
