Here at SERVPRO, we handle water damage claims every day and know that prompt action is required to prevent mold growth. Mold is more likely to spread when an environment has been subject to moisture for a long period of time. If your property has recently had a water damage, it is very important to remove all of the excess water and dry the structure promptly. If there is an ongoing moisture problem in the building, it is important to watch out for:
The presence of visible mold
Strong musty odors
Evidence of past moisture problems
Excessive humidity
If you see visible mold in your home or business, give us a call today at (256) 233-4033.
