SERVPRO of Cass & St. Joseph Counties has the protective gear, training, and specialized equipment necessary to handle your mold infestation.

Different types of mold can cause allergens and irritants. In most cases there are multiple different types of mold growing in the same structure. You should treat any mold infestation with caution regardless of it's color or type. Most molds can grow quickly if they have a source or water, source of organic food, or correct temperatures (between 60 and 86 degrees fahrenheit). Here are some ways you can reduce mold by controlling moisture in your home.

Controlling Moisture

• Remove standing water under cooking coils or air handling units.


• Use exhaust fans in bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms.


• Move large objects away from the walls to provide good air circulation.


• Correct any water leaks or standing water.


• Replace washing machine hoses with steel mesh lines.
