Mold Damage on Bedroom Wall

Mold Damage in this bedroom was the result of water damage. Mold often develops in 2 to 3 days once the presence of moisture remains. SERVPRO provided drying equipment, demolition, mold remediation and repair services. Our professional technicians have been in each of these disciplines. The after picture is a proud example of our goal of making your disaster seem "Like it never even happened." 

Here are a few places you can find mold:

Where mold grows:

• around windows where moisture condenses
• near leaky sinks or pipes
• on basement walls or in a crawlspace
• on bathroom tile
• in or near shower and tub areas
• on exposed insulation facing in attics
• in washing machines
• on the refrigerator’s gasket or water dispenser drip pan

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the top places mold hides include:

• the backside of drywall
• behind wallpaper or paneling
• on the top side of ceiling tiles
• underneath carpets and pads
• inside walls around pipes or on wood framing (due to leaking or condensing pipes)
• the surface of walls behind furniture (where condensation might form)
• inside ductwork
• in roof materials above the ceiling (due to roof leaks or insufficient insulation)
