There are several reasons why mold grows and keeps on growing. Mold thrives in damp, humid conditions. Common causes include: water leaks, high humidity, poor ventilation, flooding
Can Water Leak Mold Lead to Health Issues?
Flood water and excess moisture can create serious health risks. Bacteria and viruses thrive in wet environments, and mold from water damage can quickly become an airborne problem. Mold exposure can lead to respiratory infections like bronchitis and fungal infections like athlete's foot and thrush.
Late symptoms might include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and weight loss. It is important to act quickly after water damage, as the first 24-48 hours are critical for effective water removal and drying. Contact a professional mold removal expert like us if you or your family members have health problems after mold exposure.

Mold growth after water damage can be frustrating, but effective ways
exist to prevent it. Here are some steps you can take:
Remove or Drain the Water:
After a flood or leak, promptly remove excess moisture to assess the
damage. Plastic buckets or wet-dry vacuums can help with this.
Remove Damp Carpet or Flooring:
Remove water-damaged flooring or carpeting to prevent mold, especially on
grooved floors where moisture can get trapped.
Control Moisture Levels:
Keep humidity in check to discourage mold growth. Use dehumidifiers and
open windows for airflow.
Act Quickly: Address
water damage within 48 hours to prevent mold. Mold spores thrive in
moisture, so drying affected areas promptly is crucial.
In the midst of all this not to forget about black mold. Can black mold be a problem? With proper inquiry and preparation, it can also be prevented.
Black Mold
When you talk about mold, the discussion is incomplete with
referring to black mold. Black mold also is a type of fungus that thrives
in warm, humid conditions with moisture levels above 70%.
Causes: The most common cause of black mold is water
damage. When water seeps into your home and remains stagnant for extended
periods, it creates an ideal environment for black mold growth. Poor
ventilation can also contribute to its development.
Appearance:
Black mold appears dark green or black and commonly emerges in damp or
water-damaged areas of your home, such as basements, showers, and windows.
Health Impact: Black mold can trigger allergies
like sneezing and coughing, but serious illness or death is rare. However,
those with weakened immune systems may develop fungal infections from
exposure.
Prevention: Preventing black mold
involves controlling moisture levels in your home by fixing leaks and
ensuring proper ventilation. Regularly inspecting and cleaning areas prone
to dampness can also help keep mold at bay.
Mold allergies can cause unpleasant symptoms, so take preventive measures to maintain a healthy home environment!

Mike Sebestyen was the construction manager on the finish of our addition. He did an amazing job start to finish. I would definitely use KW Construction for any future improvements to my property. I would recommend Mike & his team for any construction project!
Our mountain home suffered extensive mold damage in the crawlspace and chimney chase due to inferior home building. KW Construction was the only company I considered calling and I’m so happy I did! What a superior company and group of people to work with!
KW Construction has now provided us with two high quality renovations, one in 2006 and the other in 2020. In both cases, the craftsmanship, attention to detail, and execution were exceptional. It is rare to go through such a process and come out on the other side with 100% satisfaction.
