Cleaner air means a healthier home and family. At SERVPRO® of Lexington / Thomasville, we can help you with ay air pollution you may be experiencing in your home or business.

Mold
Mold spores are literally everywhere and can quickly colonize if they have a water source. Excessive dampness in your home, crawlspace, or ductwork and be an ideal environment for mold to grow. It is estimated that homes with high levels of mold can show cold-like symptoms 30% more often than those homes without mold.

Dirty ductwork can circulate odors as well as contaminants. Did you know 4o lbs of dust is generated in a 1,500 sq. f. home annually, and roughly 80% of those particles you see floating in your home are dead human skin? And if mold spores get into your HVAC system, it can easily cause contamination throughout your home? Having your ducts properly cleaned can:
