Mold Damage

At SERVPRO of Clallam and Jefferson Co., we understand the unique challenges that homeowners and businesses face in our region, particularly when it comes to water damage and mold growth. With the Pacific Northwest’s rainy climate, homes and businesses in Clallam and Jefferson County are at higher risk for mold problems. If left unaddressed, mold can lead to serious damage and potential health risks.

Mold: A Common Issue in Clallam and Jefferson County

Microscopic mold spores naturally occur almost everywhere—indoors and outdoors. This makes it impossible to completely eliminate mold from your home or business. Instead, professional mold remediation aims to reduce the mold spore count back to its natural or baseline level. While some companies may advertise “mold removal,” this is simply not possible, as mold is always present to some degree.

Mold Facts to Know:

• Mold is everywhere: It can easily enter your home through windows, doors, HVAC systems, or even hitch a ride on your clothes or pets.
• Mold thrives on moisture: When mold spores come into contact with water, they can quickly grow into colonies, potentially producing allergens and irritants.
• Odors and signs: Mold often creates a strong, musty smell and can be an indicator of hidden water damage in your home.
• Humidity is key: Mold can grow even with higher-than-normal humidity levels, so keeping indoor humidity below 45% is crucial.

At SERVPRO of Clallam and Jefferson Co., our mold remediation process begins with addressing the source of moisture. Without fixing the underlying cause of the water issue, mold is likely to return.
