Mold and Fungal Growth Requires Professional Remediation

Microbial growth can grow in any home and is often present after water damage has occurred. Whether the water damage is from a pipe that bursts, an overflowing washing machine or a flooded basement, the high humidity levels can cause the ideal conditions for mold to grow. And mold can begin to grow within 24 - 48 hours after water damage occurs.

Consider the photos above. The dining room of this home had been affected by leaking water after ice dams formed on the roof. The water leaked behind the walls and the homeowner called us after seeing the water damage. When our team arrived to inspect the home, microbial growth had already begun on the walls. 

The team at SERVPRO of Southbury/Torrington is trained to properly mitigate mold as well as water damage. We properly cleaned and rebuilt the home, leaving the homeowner with the peace of mind that comes with knowing a job is well done.
