Preventing mold growth indoors is straightforward – mold will not grow without moisture or water. But, if your walls or carpets do get wet, it's important to dry them quickly, within two days. "Our state-of-the-science drying equipment can remove moisture from your home and dry out carpets and walls before mold has time to grow," says Mr Wilson. "And, if mold has already begun to grow in your home, our technicians have the specialized training and equipment to find, contain and remove it."

Should Colorado residents be concerned about mold growing in their homes? "Yes," says Mark. "While molds are part of the natural environment and play an important role outdoors in breaking down dead organic matter like leaves and fallen trees, inside homes, it's another story. Mold growth indoors can cause serious health problems, allergic reactions and, when left unchecked, even property damage." The Center for Disease Control says that all molds should be removed from the indoor environment.

Mark offers the following tips from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to help Colorado homeowners protect their families and property from the hazards of indoor mold:

· Keep moisture out
o Keep air conditioner drip pans and drain lines clean
o Clean gutters regularly
o Make sure that the ground around your home slopes away from the foundation to keep rain water out of your house
· Keep humidity low
o Vent appliances such as clothes dryers to the outside
o Use air conditioners and/or dehumidifiers to keep indoor humidity levels below 60 percent (and ideally between 30 and 50 percent)
o Clean up spills and leaks immediately – within 24 hours

o Control condensation by putting insulation around cold water pipes, and, open your windows when practical for ventilation and air flow

If mold does become a problem, Puroclean Disaster Recovery works with environmental hygienists and laboratories to help ensure that, after remediation, your home is safe and free from harmful mold growth. "Simply removing the mold is not enough. If you don't take care of the moisture problem that allowed the mold to grow in the first place, the mold may simply grow back," warns Mark Wilson.

Puroclean Disaster Recovery specializes in property emergency services. PuroClean-certified technicians help families and businesses overcome the devastating aftermath of property damage caused by water, fire, mold and other conditions, according to Mark.
