Mold thrives in damp, humid environments with moisture (from leaks, floods, high humidity over 60%, condensation, or poor ventilation) combined with organic materials like drywall, wood, carpet, or paper. It can start growing within 24-48 hours after water exposure if conditions remain moist. 

Look for visible signs like black, green, white, or fuzzy patches on walls, ceilings, or surfaces; a persistent musty or earthy odor; water stains or discoloration; warped materials; or increased allergy-like symptoms (sneezing, coughing, eye irritation) that improve when away from the area. Hidden mold may lurk behind walls, under flooring, or in HVAC systems. 

Mold remediation is the professional process of identifying, removing, and preventing mold growth in a property. Mold can cause health issues and structural damage if left untreated. Spartan Restoration uses certified inspection and remediation with advanced techniques and equipment to safely eliminate mold, address moisture sources, and restore a safe, mold-free environment, DIY methods often fail to fully resolve hidden issues or prevent regrowth. 

It varies by extent: small jobs may take 1-3 days; moderate to large-scale (involving multiple rooms or hidden growth) can take 3-7 days or longer. Drying affected areas thoroughly is key and may require additional time with equipment like industrial dehumidifiers.
