Mold grows anywhere with moisture present. In particular, mold can be found in the shower, under carpets, in your washing machine, and even in your mattress. Most mold is relatively harmless. However, it should be removed, and preventative action should be taken immediately to prevent further spread. Where does mold grow? The better question may be, where doesn’t mold grow?

Mold is a common nuisance and potential health risk, and it can grow in any number of places. Since mold can spread in as little as 48 hours under the right conditions, it’s important to know where mold typically grows so steps can be taken to remove the mold right away. From where people sleep to where they eat, mold can spring up anywhere and anytime. All it takes is moisture and a bit of time for mold spores to take hold.

Mold Remediation & Prevention Services
DMV Fire & Flood uses the latest equipment and methods to safely remove mold from your home or business. All of our technicians have been trained and certified (IICRC & IAQA) to efficiently and safely locate, and then mitigate mold in your home or business.

The first step is to isolate the contaminated areas to protect the unaffected areas from cross-contamination. Once this barrier has been set, and negative pressure is created inside the containment, the removal process can be undertaken. Typically, affected drywall and carpeting are removed, exposing the structure for examination. Depending on the severity of the problem, we implement a multi-faceted approach, using the proper equipment to handle every situation. From Dry-ice blasters, soda blasters, pressure-washing or simple hand sanding, we use the right tool for each unique situation. This saves time and money for our clients. Read more at
