SERVPRO of Bend receives many calls from concerned customers regarding mold. Here is some information that may help understand the Biology of Mold.

Mold is a fungus

Number of species of mold is not known, however

• At least 20,000, but may be as many as 300,000 different species of mold
• Mold derives its nutrients from decomposing, organic matter.     

We have seen many places where mold has begun to grow. Here are a few of those materials: Paper, Wood, Drywall and Paint to name a few.

Mold loves water and damp areas, especially in areas where the relative humidity is greater than 60%.
