Extensive mold discovered

Ever wonder what would happen if you left a water damage unaddressed? Well, this would be your worst case scenario. When water damage is not properly mitigated or ignored for several months (even years), mold is almost guaranteed to grow and multiply into what you see here. 

It is best to be sure to monitor your plumbing systems to catch any sign of water damage early on. Proper maintenance of pipes, faucets, toilets, sinks, etc.. is very important in preventing mold from growing. 

When dealing with mold in your home it is very important NOT TO:

• Touch or disturb the mold.
• Blow air across any surfaces with visible or suspected mold growth.
• Attempt to dry the area yourself.
• Spray bleach or other disinfectants on the mold. 

Thankfully, our technicians are certified in Applied Microbial Remediation by the IICRC. They have extensive experience in mold remediation and could handle any size remediation. It is recommended that you always let a professional assist with Mold Remediation.
