But that’s about growth. As for “spreading”, it only takes a few hours for mold spores to spread. It won’t be long before mold fills the air in your home.
So, how do you mitigate the effects of water damage to your home and also prevent mold growth? You first need to make sure that there’s no more excess water anywhere in your home and that your property is completely dry.

Water and moisture can penetrate these areas and make them susceptible to mold.
