SERVPRO wants to keep your family safe --keep an eye out for mold!

Mold is one thing that is a huge health risk for children, the elderly, or anyone who suffers with respiratory problems.  If you think your home or business might have mold it’s important to contact us right away and get a solution. Mold can spread as fast as 48-72 hours after a water source damage has begun. This is what could allow allergens and irritants to arise and that is a health risk.  Sometimes you are unable to see the mold –if a strong musty odor is present, that might be an indication that mold could be behind drywall or under carpet. Suggestions on what to do:

• Stay out of affected areas.
• Turn off the HVAC system and all fans in the home.
• Contact us at SERVPRO!

Some people think it’s best to handle the situation themselves. DON’T! Don’t touch or disturb the mold, because that only makes the problem worse. Do not add bleach or disinfectants on the mold. Here at SERVPRO we are trained to handle mold and mold growth, and we have the equipment to help your home or business.
