United Water Restoration Group of Charlotte
The sight of mold growth can be very frustrating as it leads to property damage and discoloration of the affected surfaces, but it can also cause negative health effects including allergies and infection. For the protection of your health and your property, you must call a certified professional to safely and effectively remove the mold. United Water Restoration Group of Charlotte provides mold remediation services to remove mold contaminations from homes and businesses in Rock Hill, SC. It is important to have our professionals remove the mold growth because doing so improperly will cause the mold to disperse its spores and spread further throughout the home.
What Causes Mold?
Mold is often found in moist, dark environments and it requires an organic food source and a moisture source to grow. It spreads throughout a home or building by releasing its spores in the air and until it is removed by a remediation professional, it will continue to spread. You should keep the following in mind concerning mold growth:
- Mold growth can happen within 48 hours of water damage or an increase in moisture.
- Flooding, slow leaks, condensation, broken pipes, or high humidity can create conditions in which mold can thrive.
- Cellulose, which is found in wood and drywall, is a common organic food source for mold.
Damage Caused by Mold
Because mold growth uses the affected materials as its food source, it can greatly weaken materials like wood and drywall, leading to serious structural damage. It is also always a risk to spread to new areas and may even appear in hidden areas such as behind walls. Our mold remediation professionals will make sure to find all mold growth on your property, including hidden mold.
The other major issue with mold growth is the potential health effects. Exposure to mold can trigger the following:
- Coughing
- Nasal and sinus congestion
- Sore throat
- Chest tightness
- Trouble breathing
- Headaches
- Skin and eye irritation
- Asthma
- Upper respiratory tract infections
Mold Prevention
The best action you can take against mold is to prevent it from growing in the first place. The following tips can help you effectively prevent mold in your home:
- Keep indoor humidity between 30 and 50 percent and measure regularly with a humidity meter.
- Dry off surfaces that are wet from condensation.
- Keep your kitchen and bathroom well-ventilated.
- Lower the humidity in your home with a dehumidifier or air conditioning.
- Fix areas where you have noticed moisture or condensation.
- Use mold-resistant materials and products in your home.

"Highly recommend using this company. I experienced some water leaks in my house due to the recent storm. My Realtor connected me to United Water Restoration Group, they called me right away and came to my house within the hour. Checked my leaks and quickly confirmed all was dry.

"This is our second water leak in this house and we called United Water Restoration to help us out. William arrive in 30 mins which surprised me. He told me we were still in good hands and got straight to work. He gave me Joel’s information, the Operation Manager. Joel was amazing to deal with, as he helped me through the insurance process. Jaren was a pleasure to work with as he helped me through the reconstruction. All in all Rob’s team is still top notch and I will forever use their services."

“The entire team at UWR has been impressive to work with. A special shoutout to Chris and William for walking me through the process, answering my calls at all hours and being prompt and professional at each interaction. When they come to work, they leave my home better than they found it, careful to protect my belongings and clean up all debris. They are true partners, working with my Insurance company to fight for what's right. I am especially impressed by the engagement from all levels including from Robert, their President, calling me at 5:00 on a Friday to reassure me that things will be handled to my satisfaction.”
