Finding mold damage in your basement is a problem that needs to be dealt with right away. Contact SERVPRO for excellent remediation options.

SERVPRO Technicians Thoroughly Investigate and Then Remediate Mold Damage in Your Basement

There is nothing that can be as misunderstood or nerve-wracking as discovering mold and fungal growth in your Highland Park residence. While you might work diligently as a homeowner to keep moisture and dampness outside of your home, sometimes these preventative measures fail, and you get left with areas like the basement remaining damp or wet. These conditions can feed mold spores in the environment and allow mold growth on organic materials in this affected area.

Of all of the ways that mold damage can affect your Highland Park residence, structural concerns are among the worst. If colonies thrive for extended periods without removal or remediation, they can significantly weaken or even compromise structural components of your home as well as elements like flooring, ceilings, and drywall. While our SERVPRO remediation technicians work quickly to help you restore the damage that is present in your home, sometimes restoration and remediation are no longer possible.

When our technicians arrive at a home in which mold could grow and thrive for an extended period, the result was often severe damages to the construction materials like wood framing, flooring, and walls. When the damage is too severe for the remediation techniques for colony removal would be ineffective, the only solution left is to replace these damaged areas with new materials.

Our SERVPRO professionals work to restore and salvage the areas that can still get repaired through our standard remediation process. For those areas that cannot, we remove these materials and often leave reinstallation of these new materials to residential contractors once our work has completed in your home. Small repairs and reinstallment efforts can get done by our team, but for significant rebuilds and reconstruction, we encourage the use of a construction contractor to finish the job.

Mold remediation is something that no homeowner ever wants to need, but taking care of the fungal growth in your home is time sensitive and better for your health. Health effects have gotten linked to exposure to mold, so trust our SERVPRO of Montgomery remediation technicians to help you take care of the problem as soon as you find it.
