Mold Removal Setup

During mold removal, we set up an area of containment to prevent any unwanted materials or substances from entering other areas. By using thick plastic sheeting, we're able to seal off the area, creating a secure barrier. Once the contained area has been established we set up a negative air machine, using HEPA filtration to ensure spore-contaminated air does not escape the containment.

Let SERVPRO Handle It!

It's not uncommon for us to get calls with stories of water damage occurrences where the homeowner or property manager attempted to fix the problem themselves. Now the issue is far worse than they had imagined!

In this apartment, an attempt was made to clean up a water leak from the unit above. The water was successfully removed but proper drying was not performed which resulted in mold growth. A tremendous amount of mold growth, and a very costly fix. This all could have been avoided with a call to SERVPRO when the water damage was found!

Bad to Worse

What began as a water damage loss due to a leaking ice maker became much more serious. After removal of the flooring it was discovered that water had been leaking for longer than the homeowner was aware of. This lingering moisture caused black mold to consume the sub-flooring in the kitchen area. 

Mold Won't Wait On You

This Irmo, South Carolina pool house became a mold spore breeding ground in a just a matter of days. The homeowner discovered water leaking from the toilet and promptly shut the supply line off. Although the visible water was removed using towels and mops, there is almost always hidden moisture where the eye cannot see. 

Life can be hectic, we all have schedules to keep up and plenty of things to do. Unfortunately life got in the way at this property, causing the homeowner to close the pool house and worry about it later. Later proved to be costly for this water damaged home. The unseen moisture prompted mold to consume the majority of the drywall.

Luckily the homeowners next call was to SERVPRO. We were able to treat the pool house to remove and prevent future mold growth. 

Mold Growth - Hurricane Florence, NC

During Hurricane Florence our SERVPRO team traveled to North Carolina to assist in storm relief. One home we entered showed signs of improper remediation.

When water comes in contact with drywall, it needs to be removed. At this home, the drywall was left intact even though more than a foot of water was standing in the basement. Just above the water level line you see a tremendous amount of mold growth that required us to remove much more of the wall than what would have been needed if SERVPRO was the first to this disaster.

Because drywall is porous, it absorbs liquids and can begin to show signs of mold growth in as little as 24 hours.
