Will a One-Time Water Leak Cause Mold?
Virtually any source of moisture can be a catalyst for mold. It is typically larger instances of water damage in Montreal that trigger widespread mold growth, but it does not mean that a small or one-time leak won’t contribute to the spread of a mold infestation. If you notice a leak or water damage to your building materials, contact Canada’s Restoration Services about mold removal in Montreal. Our IICRC-certified technicians also offer water damage services for when a leak needs to be dried and the area needs to be restored.
Why Pay Attention to Moisture
Leaks introduce humidity. When this happens in areas with organic or cellulose materials such as drywall, wood beams, and insulation mold spores start to reproduce feeding off the decay and moisture in as little as 24 to 48 hours after the initial leak.
Vigilance around water damage and leaks, whether it's in your basement or attic, can prevent mold outbreaks from happening in the first place. Look for signs such as bubbling or peeling paint, discolouration on walls or ceilings, or unusual dampness. If you have any of these indicators, contact the professionals for a comprehensive mold inspection.
