The summers of Oklahoma are known for their heat, humidity, and even the occasional intense storm system that could impact your home or business. When you have recently taken a long vacation away from your property, it may be worthwhile to consider having our BISON Restoration team conduct a thorough mold inspection. This peace of mind can help you know the condition of your property and take a proactive stance if threats are discovered.
Mold Loves Unattended Spaces
You might not think mold inspections for your Oklahoma City property are necessary, but if your house sits empty for weeks, a minor issue could escalate into a widespread problem. A minor water intrusion, for example, might initially go unnoticed but could develop into a substantial issue by the time you return home and discover it.
The factors increasing mold risk during prolonged absences:
- Setting the HVAC Too High: Setting the thermostat too high can increase humidity and condensation inside the house, making mold a possibility.
- Leaks: Pipes dripping, appliances leaking, or damaged plumbing could all soak sensitive materials and lead to mold
- Ventilation Concerns: Homes without airflow and ventilation trap moisture and can increase the potential for mold to form
- Storms: Summer storms are a certainty in Oklahoma, so roof leaks could play a factor in moisture issues while you are away
Protecting Your Investment and Your Family
Mold is more than just a nuisance to find; it can pose a significant health hazard to those in your family. Beyond this, it is something that will move from one supporting material surface to another, impacting numerous structural systems within your property and its contents. Infiltration of materials can often necessitate demolition and replacement, making knowledge of mold’s existence a substantial factor in saving time and money on remediation.
