Mold grows where there is the presence of moisture, like leaks around roofs, windows, plumbing pipes, or after an area has been flooded. It can also grow on wallpaper, drywall, cardboard, ceiling tiles, upholstery, insulation, and fabric. It can also be brought into the house through air-conditioning vents, shoes, pets, and clothing.

SERVPRO of Mission Valley East knows a small flame can turn into a large fire in a matter of minutes.  Sometimes, a portable fire extinguisher is not enough to save your San Diego property and the only thing you can do is escape.  

A small flame can turn into a large fire in a matter of minutes. Lives are more important than objects, so get yourself and others out of danger.

SERVPRO of Mission Valley East can clean up damage from smoke and soot in your San Diego home.  

Smoke is a mixture of gases and small particles. The small particles are also called ash, and they include soot. Soot is the collection of particles left from incomplete burning of products that contain carbon. These products include wood and coal. Smoke and soot do not destroy materials the way fire does. They leave behind greasy films and have an unpleasant odor.

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 Mission Valley East is licensed in mold remediation.

• Contact the San Diego housing authority  
• Review your lease about your rights and responsibilities
