Leak Detection System

Mold Basics

  • The key to mold control is moisture control.
  • If mold is a problem in your home, you should clean up the mold promptly and fix the water problem.
  • It is important to dry water-damaged areas and items within 24-48 hours to prevent mold growth.

Why is mold growing in my home?  Molds are part of the natural environment.  Outdoors, molds play a part in nature by breaking down dead organic matter such as fallen leaves and dead trees, but indoors, mold growth should be avoided.  Molds reproduce by means of tiny spores; the spores are invisible to the naked eye and float through outdoor and indoor air.  Mold may begin growing indoors when mold spores land on surfaces that are wet.  There are many types of mold, and none of them will grow without water or moisture.

One of the key steps to preventing MOLD problems, is preventing moisture problems.  Regretfully, many moisture problems are unseen or concealed from you the homeowners view until after they become a problem.  We recommend periodic inspections of the spaces below your sinks, cabinets, basements and crawlspaces for possible moisture problems.  Even leakage below a toilet can go unseen for months causing hundreds and thousands of dollars in damage before it is discovered.  With our Aqua-Stop Leak Detection system you will know immediately when moisture or leak problems begin.  This unique system is designed to immediately shut off the main water supply as soon as a moisture hits the sensor alerting you to a problem that needs to be addressed.  Once the problem is solved and the sensor reset, you are back in business having saved money that may have grown dynamically with an undetected leak.  Even if your Insurance Company paid for the damage, you still would have had a deductible and any uncovered costs to pay out of pocket.
