Causes of Mold & How To Prevent Growth
Mold can grow almost anywhere, especially where it’s wet. That’s why it’s such a problem when properties experience water or flood damage. The best way to defend against mold is to ensure your home stays dry. Fans and open windows speed up the drying process, but be sure to collect any standing water with mops, buckets, or towels. Wet-dry vacs are also a great idea. Whenever possible, as quickly as possible, remove any standing water in your home.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can mold start growing after water damage occurs?
Mold is extremely resilient and can begin to colonize in as little as 24 to 48 hours after a water intrusion. Because mold thrives on organic materials like drywall, wood, and carpet backing, any delay in treatment increases the risk of a widespread infestation. This is why Paul Davis offers 24/7 emergency response—to stop the growth before it becomes a major health and structural hazard.
What is the best way to clean up water quickly to avoid mold damage?
To prevent mold, you must remove standing water and moisture as fast as possible.
- Extract standing water: Use a wet-dry vacuum, mops, or buckets to clear the area immediately.
- Increase airflow: Open windows if the humidity outside is low and use high-powered fans to circulate air across wet surfaces.
- Dehumidify: Run a dehumidifier to pull moisture out of the air and porous materials.
- Remove wet items: Move saturated rugs, clothing, and furniture to a dry area to prevent them from trapping moisture against the floor or walls.
Why should I hire a professional for mold remediation instead of cleaning it myself?
While surface mold on tile or metal can sometimes be wiped away, mold often roots deep into porous materials like drywall and insulation. “DIY” cleaning with bleach often only kills surface mold while the moisture remains trapped behind walls, allowing the colony to return. Paul Davis professionals use specialized industrial equipment—such as air scrubbers and thermal imaging cameras—to locate hidden moisture and ensure the mold is completely eradicated according to professional building codes.
