MOLD GROWING ON DRYWALL

Why Should I Hire a Mold Remediation Company?

When a home in devastated by water damage from floods, broken pipes, or leaks, a homeowner may end up having to pay for costly repairs. If you leave water damage untreated, your property becomes susceptible to mold. Mold colonies form when mold spores find optimal conditions to survive. When these colonies develop, they rot the natural construction materials of a building. You should hire a mold cleaning service if your building has untreated water damage and has become rotted due to mold. Signs of mold are:

• Rotting wood
• Falling bathroom tiles
• Visible green sludge on walls and ceilings
  

Here are three reasons you should hire a mold remediation service:

1. They Will Help You Find Hidden Mold
   Bathroom tiles will fall when mold colonies consume the grout holding them up. Sometimes, mold can hide behind these tiles. A mold remediation company will first inspect your property to find hidden mold and places with higher humidity levels.
2. They Will Dehumidify Your Property
   After a leak or a flood, materials that are affected can remain damp even after the water has been cleaned away. Dampened construction materials are ideal hosts for mold, especially if it is located in a dark space. A mold cleaning company will help dehumidify your property to keep mold from rotting wood, drywall, or grout.
3. They Can Help Restore Your Property
   A company specializing in remediation and cleaning services will help to restore materials that have mold damage. Along with dehumidifying, they can assist with repairing drywall, carpets, and paint. Depending on the severity of the damage, they can also help reconstruct entire rooms affected by mold.
   If you have water damage that has been left untreated and has become a hotspot for mold, hire a mold cleaning company to assist you in cleanup and repairs. You can prevent costs from accruing by restoring water-damaged materials immediately. Contact SERVPRO of Bowling Green/W. Lucas County @ 419-867-8678 to help!
