Molds are very common in buildings and homes. In as little as 48 hours, mold can begin to grow.  Mold will grow in places with a lot of moisture, such as around leaks in roofs, windows, or pipes, or where there has been flooding. Mold grows well on paper products, cardboard, ceiling tiles, and wood products. Mold can also grow in dust, paints, wallpaper, insulation, drywall, carpet, fabric, and upholstery. Mold can cause health effects and can also cause significant damage to your property. SERVPRO of North Thornton/Brighton has the training, protective gear, and specialized equipment necessary to handle your Brighton mold problem.
