Having mold show up in your home in Chico, Lake Almanor, and surrounding areas in not uncommon. It all too often gets swept under the rug and pushed to be taken care of another day. That day is today!

Mold is a sign that there is either a known or an unknown water source that has been present for at least 48 hours. In that 48 hours, mold begins to grow in the space of the intruding water. Leaving that mold to grow and grow can be detrimental to the safety of your home and your health. SERVPRO of Chico/Lake Almanor is unlike any other restoration company in this area.

 “Like it never even happened.”

[moldking]

Not good for the students, the parents, or anyone in the school district.  We pray they clean it up properly and fix whatever issues caused it.

[moldking]

Universities, public buildings, and government buildings are prone to mold growth as maintenance programs are usually lacking or insufficient.

[moldking]

Impressed with this counties actions.  Wish more government entities were this quick to act and check.

[moldking]

Facilities must be maintained at all times........

[moldking]

The school appears to be on top of this.  Hopefully they run air quality tests before letting the students back in.

[moldking]

Firefighters hit again.  Common problem in government run and owned locations due to lack of maintenance.

[moldking]

It’s more than just a number of spores.  They should be sharing the types of mold, which is the bigger problem than just a number.

[moldking]

Schools and government building tend to be more neglected, which usually means more potential mold issues.

[moldking]

This may seem extreme but mold does affect everyone differently.

[moldking]

Always begins with moisture

[moldking]

Penicillium is Not always a good thing, especially in the mold world.  We pray for the students, teachers, faculty, and anyone who goes through these schools.  Hopefully the industrial hygienist they hire opens their eyes.

I hope they address the situation correctly.
