Contrary to popular belief, mold does not discriminate by age when it comes to the buildings it infests. Mold growth is primarily driven by moisture and can occur in any building, regardless of its age, as long as the conditions are right. New constructions can also face mold issues if the building materials were exposed to moisture during construction or if the building lacks adequate ventilation.

The key to preventing mold growth is speed. Begin drying out your property within 24 to 48 hours after flooding. The faster areas are dried, the less likely mold will have a chance to grow.

San Diego's building codes are designed to mitigate the risks associated with floods and mold, ensuring that structures are safe, resilient, and capable of withstanding environmental challenges. These regulations are crucial for both new constructions and existing buildings that require modification or restoration.
