Mold and Mildew
Mold is a very serious concern. If you suspect mold growth in your home or property it is very important that you get the areas of concern tested. G.A.R.S. takes specialty air and swab tests to be certain of the presence of mold. A musty or earthy smell often indicates the presence of mold. Discoloration and spores on walls is also a sign of mold. Mold brings very strong health risks and the consequences can be great if left untreated. 
Mold and mildew often occur after a water intrusion. Delay in removing the water and promptly restoring the affected areas could lead to serious structural property damage and mold growth. Stopping the flow of water and thoroughly drying affected materials is crucial to prevent mold growth. Moisture in the home is one of the main causes of mold growth; mold requires moisture to mature and can develop within 24 to 48 hours of a water incident. Once the water is extracted, the remaining ambient moisture must be removed through evaporation and dehumidification. G.A.R.S. also uses an antimicrobial formula to combat the mold growth that may have already occurred.
