However, it’s important to address mold growth in your home promptly. Failure to do so can expose your family’s health to serious threats, such as eye and skin irritation, asthma, and respiratory illness, as well as leave your home vulnerable to damage. As soon as you notice mold in your home, contact a professional to remove it and clean the area.   Dream Steam provides 24/7 mold removal services to help keep your home and family safe. We excel at locating areas of mold growth and eliminating its cause, and we will even rebuild areas that have been damaged. Because we’re IICRC certified in mold removal, you can be sure that your mold issue is in capable hands with Dream Steam. ## What Causes Mold (And How to Prevent It) The primary cause of mold growth is excess moisture, which is often present due to either high indoor humidity or water leakage. Poor ventilation can exacerbate the problem by delaying drying. Mold can begin to grow within 24–48 hours of an area becoming wet. The longer an area remains wet, the more likely that mold will grow and cause damage. If your home has suffered water or storm damage and you haven’t addressed it, your home is at risk for developing mold.   Mold prevention starts with controlling humidity in your home. You can use humidifiers and dehumidifiers to keep indoor humidity at an appropriate level. Proper ventilation is also key to controlling humidity. Areas like bathrooms, laundry rooms, and attics are often poorly ventilated. After our team has removed mold from your home, we’ll help you find the cause and implement a long-term solution for the problem.   [![View Our Infographic](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/5829814/af0fea46-33c8-46de-a45e-67e93f0d0c8d.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/5829814/af0fea46-33c8-46de-a45e-67e93f0d0c8d)     ## Have questions about mold?
