Migrating Mold Damage in Queens Basements

1/19/2024 (Permalink)

Water and moisture invite mold damage into your Queens home and basement. SERVPRO can remove these unwanted guests. "Like it never even happened."

SERVPRO® Remediates Mold Infestations

Mold can rapidly spread to other parts of your home if the conditions are right. It grows in damp places and can be hard to detect. A wet basement can affect the rest of your home. So, it's important to address mold issues immediately to prevent it from spreading.

Overcoming mold damage in a Queens basement is about understanding how to contain the organisms. Spores, microscopic seeds, are carried by air and circulated to other house areas via the HVAC ducts. This movement also happens when warmer air rises (pushed up by cooler air), so they are carried to the higher floors of the house. Spores attach themselves to clothing, fabrics, and skin. Therefore, traffic in and out of this lower level likely carries the spores to other rooms.
