SERVPRO can help to eliminate existing mold infestations and greatly lower risk of future problems.

Mold Damage Threats In Sacramento Homes

Many of our most severe mold damage calls in Sacramento come from old homes. Whether you have just purchased the property or lived in it for many years, it is possible for your home to have extensive mold damage if it is more than a few decades old. SERVPRO can help to eliminate existing mold infestations and greatly lower risk of future problems, but first, you need to know where to look for fungal growth in your residence.

Furniture
With old houses often comes old furniture, and it is here that many cases of mold damage in Sacramento begin. Both on the exterior of the fabric and within the plush, stuffed interiors of many older furniture sets, spores can grow and thrive with little to no extra food or water. Signs of mold damage on fabrics include discoloration and unusual fuzzy textures, but in many cases, the greatest extent of growth may be impossible to detect inside the object. If you notice any signs of fungal growth around a piece of furniture, be sure to temporarily remove it from the home to stop further damage from occurring.

Wallpaper
When was the last time the wallpaper got replaced across the entire home? Old wallpaper can begin to break down and become an easy target for hungry spores. If you would like to safeguard your walls against the spread of mold in the future, give SERVPRO a call and ask about mold-resistant interior paint jobs.

Wood Floors, Cabinets, and Stairs
Any exposed wood surface in your home could be a potential starting place for a mold infestation. Although most wood surfaces have some kind of protective finish applied to them upon installation or manufacture, these can be worn away with time and make the object or area vulnerable. Consider refinishing surfaces in your home to both prevent possible mold problems and leave the place looking shiny and new.
