SERVPRO was called for mold remediation

This photo was taken at a home that had mold mold damage. Unfortunately, mold damage can occur from anything related to water in the area that there was mold found. Anything, from a leaky pipe to a flood, mold damage can happen at the most inconvenient times. It is highly important that the mold is cleaned and taken care of properly.

Here are some tips to properly dry the water intrusion to prevent mold growth:

1. Moisture levels in all affected building components should be measured to determine where the water damage has occurred.
2. Hidden moisture, such as in ceiling plenums and wall cavities, must be tracked and measured.
3. The right equipment for the job must be properly placed for rapid drying.
4. Daily moisture readings should be recorded and reported (a critical defense in case of health effects).
5. Determine the building’s normal moisture level and document goal attainment.
