Mold in Your Home: What You Need to Know

Mold is one of those problems homeowners hope they’ll never have to deal with. Unfortunately, in North Texas, where humidity, heavy storms, and even plumbing leaks are common, mold can become an issue faster than most people realize. At SWAT Restoration, we’ve helped countless families in Fort Worth, Aledo, Weatherford, and beyond identify, eliminate, and recover from mold infestations. Here’s what you need to know.

Why Mold Is a Serious Problem

Mold is more than just a spot on the wall or a musty smell in the basement. Left untreated, mold can:

• Damage your property by eating away at wood, drywall, and flooring.

• Spread quickly through spores, turning a small patch into a widespread problem.

• Affect your health, especially for those with asthma, allergies, or compromised immune systems.

The bottom line: mold isn’t just unpleasant—it can be unsafe.

Common Causes of Mold

In our experience across North Texas homes, mold growth usually starts with moisture. Some of the most common triggers include:

• Water damage from storms, floods, or roof leaks.

• Plumbing issues such as slab leaks or dripping pipes hidden in walls.

• Poor ventilation in bathrooms, kitchens, or laundry rooms.

• High humidity levels that allow moisture to linger.

If you’ve recently had water damage—or notice a musty smell—it’s smart to have your home inspected.

Why You Need Professional Mold Remediation

Trying to handle mold on your own may seem tempting, but household cleaners can’t get to the root of the problem. Professional remediation ensures:

• The source is identified and fixed, not just the surface.

• Spores are safely removed with industry-grade equipment.

• Future growth is prevented through drying, repairs, and monitoring.

• Peace of mind that your home is safe and healthy again.
