If you find you have a mold problem in your home or business space, your primary focus should be safety:
- Most notably, mold growth can occur as rapidly as 48-72 hours.
- Individuals including children, the elderly, and anyone with respiratory problems may be presented with greater health risk when living or working in a space that contains mold.
- If you encounter a strong & musty odor in your space, this could indicate mold is hiding under carpeting or behind drywall.
If you detect or find mold:
- Steer clear of the affected areas.
- Disable the HVAC system and turn off fans.

Try to AVOID:
- Do NOT touch or agitate the mold in any way.
- Do NOT spread or move the flow of air across any surfaces with suspected or visible mold growth.
- Do NOT attempt to remediate the area yourself.
- Do NOT spray bleach or other disinfectants on the mold as the mold if not treated properly, can return.
