Macon, Georgia disaster repair services companies often come in contact with mold and mildew, but the average homeowner doesn’t always know very much about these unwelcome home visitors. In fact, the first experience that many people have with mold and mildew is when they learn that their home has water damage which has caused these things to develop.

Mold has become much more common than it was only around 50 years in the past. Mold has become so common that around half of all homes in the United States today have some degree of mold infestation, even though the homeowners are often not aware that it’s there.
