Water damage and mold go hand in hand. Even a minor leak can lead to significant mold growth in just a few days. At AmeriDri, we take both water damage and mold remediation seriously.
How Fast Does Mold Grow?
Mold can begin growing within 24–48 hours of water exposure. Warm, humid environments like basements and bathrooms are especially vulnerable.
Where Mold Hides
- Behind walls
- Under carpets
- Inside HVAC systems
- Around window frames
Mold often grows in hidden areas, making professional detection essential.
Health Risks of Mold
Exposure to mold can cause:
- Allergies
- Asthma attacks
- Skin irritation
- Sinus infections
If you notice musty odors or unexplained health symptoms, it may be time for an inspection.
