Microbial growth can be dangerous to your Mayfield Heights home and its contents. If you notice an increase in humidity in your home before any growth has occurred, a dehumidifier may be all you need to help prevent moisture build-up. Some leaks are more harmful than others. Category 1 leaks, such as those that come from your supply lines, are not immediately harmful and can be taken care of without too much of a health concern, as long as it’s done in a timely manner. However, Category 2 or 3 from plumbing that removes waste from your home could be dangerous and should be taken care of as soon as possible with attention to the safety process of the mitigation.
