PNW Restoration is Here to Mitigate Mold Growth This Upcoming Spring

Mold is just as common during the spring season as it is during winter. As Portland, OR moves into the spring season, the team at PNW Restoration is happy to announce they are gearing up to provide top-rated mold restoration services, such as inspections, to homeowners throughout the state.

Common Causes of Spring Mold

Moisture is the most common cause of springtime mold. While things like mold spores and food sources are almost always present in a home, the presence of moisture is what causes it to grow. This moisture can come from things such as condensation, indoor flooding, humidity, and water damage.

Mold spores are another common cause. They are always present in the air and your home will probably have a concentration of mold spores somewhere in it. It’s worth it to keep an eye out for these and keep them to a minimum.

Mold likes to use organic materials as a food source. The most popular is cellulose, which is in things like insulation, wood, and drywall.

How To Prevent Mold Growth in the Spring

Taking preventative measures to keep mold from growing is a great way to help keep your home mold-free. There are a few things you can do in order to keep mold from growing in your home this spring.

• Wipe condensation off of plumbing fixtures, pipes, walls, and windows

• Dry any leaks and spills before mold has a chance to grow

• Clean your gutters so water can travel away from your foundation

If these preventative measures aren’t enough, PNW Restoration is ready to provide their top-rated quality mold restoration services to help keep your home mold-free.

It’s recommended to hire a professional mold removal service. A professional is going to have a better understanding of how to remove mold safely. Calling in the professionals at PNW Restoration to handle a mold cleanup also ensures that mold doesn’t spread to other parts of the house and make the issue a lot more serious to deal with in the long run.
