The Panic of Discovering Mold

Finding mold in your basement, bathroom, or attic can feel overwhelming. But with the right steps, it can be handled safely.

What to Do Immediately

1. Don’t disturb it—scrubbing can spread spores.
   
   
2. Close doors/vents to contain airflow.
   
   
3. Take photos for insurance.
   
   
4. Call Lakeside for mold remediation.
   
   

What NOT to Do

• Don’t paint over mold—it will come back.
  
  
• Don’t rely only on bleach—it won’t reach deep growth.
  
  
• Don’t delay—mold grows quickly in damp conditions.
