Mold in Rental Property

6/28/2022 (Permalink)

SERVPRO of Texarkana presents: Mold in Rental Property

Mold:

  • grows from mold spores
    • spores are too small to see unaided
    • spores can survive harsh environments for many years
  • can grow almost anywhere 
  • needs to have only
    • above-freezing temperatures
    • protein, such as in animal dander, skin cells, wood, plaster, carpet
    • moisture (high humidity is enough)
  • grows rapidly
  • damages property
  • has a bad smell
  • is unsightly

If you have a small amount of mold on a dish, you can clean it. You can even throw it away. However, if you have a large amount of mold, you need licensed mold remediation. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) defines a “large amount” as 10 square feet or more.

SERVPRO of Texarkana is licensed in mold remediation.

Talk to your landlord if you think he/she should hire licensed professionals.

We are locally owned and operated. We are available 24/7 so give us a call for any of your mold questions. 903-832-4400.
