How to Prevent and React to Mold After Water Damage

Mold growth is a risk in all cases of water damage because moisture is the main trigger of mold growth indoors. In fact, areas affected by water damage are at risk for mold growth within 24-48 hours of the damage occurring.

Toxic Mold

One of the problems with wallpaper is that it can easily hide any and all toxic molds that may be growing where we can’t see.  Most wallpaper acts as a vapor barrier, trapping moisture behind it and in combination with the organic wallpaper paste, provides the perfect conditions for prolific toxic mold growth.
