Even a slow leak can add up to significant water waste and water damage. Stains on walls, floors, or ceilings are a sign of possible water damage; at the very least, they’re a sign of something being wrong, with water damage the most likely cause, and evil spirits being the least likely one (sorry, we’ve been watching spooky movies lately).

If you hear water dripping, see water stains or unplanned indoor ponds, or suspect water damage, call the professionals: SERVPRO of Moorhead. The oceanic depths of our experience must be seen to be appreciated – or you could read the customer reviews.

Our phone number is 218-236-7447.  Emergency services are always available.

Excess Water and Its Follower: Mold

Mold, a type of microbial growth, is always around in the form of tiny, microscopic, impressively hardy spores. These spores can survive anything: deserts, tombs, lack of oxygen, no food, even outer space. To grow, mold needs only:

• Oxygen
• Food
• Water (moisture above 45% humidity for 24 to 48 continuous hours)

Your home always has the first two, so the method of preventing mold colonies is to limit the third. If you think you don’t leave out food for mold, you may be thinking about what humans eat. Mold eats:

• Drywall
• Paint
• Linen
• Cotton
• Leather
• Wool
• Human skin cells
• Animal skin cells
• Carpet
• Wood
• Soap
• Anything humans eat
• Anything your pets eat
• Almost anything else

Once mold spores start developing mold colonies, the colonies start chomping down on most of what they touch, growing and eating their way across – and through – your house.

Trivia Break

This week’s trivia may show up in a high-schooler’s history book:

Charles, Duke of Orleans, wrote a poem to his wife in 1415 while he was imprisoned in the Tower of London following his capture at the Battle of Agincourt. This poem is, according to the British Library, the oldest valentine in existence.
