Unseen effects of Water Damage: Mold

10/13/2021 (Permalink)

You're likely not dealing with this sort of mold, unless your house is dangerously delicious.

If your home has been damaged by water after a storm or a burst pipe or a plumbing mishap, you likely are well-aware of the stains on carpet, the warped floors, and the stench, but one thing you might be neglecting is the mold growing in hidden corners of your home. Large amounts of standing water both before and after evaporating will help give mold the moisture needed to thrive. Some mold smells awful, some mold is mild, but they’re all NOT fun to deal with in your home.

When it comes to mold, time is of the essence. Our SERVPRO Franchise Professionals will be at your house in a matter of hours and will assess the damage and predict where mold is likely to grow, and nip it in the bud before it becomes a big problem.

Remember--an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, and it’s much better for you to keep mold from growing after a water leak than to get rid of it after it’s already taken purchase in the corners of your basement.

Regardless of how far along your mold is, however, remember that SERVPRO of North Rowan will be there to help you clean up your home and make it safe, comfortable, and “Like it never even happened.”
