Common questions
How quickly does mold grow after water damage?
Mold can begin growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet drywall, wood and carpet, especially in Montgomery County's humid summers. Fast drying is the best prevention.
Will painting over mold fix it?
No. Paint hides mold but does not remove it, and growth continues underneath. Contaminated porous materials need to be removed and the moisture source fixed.
