What You Should Do When You Spot Mold Damage

The crawl space inside of your home is usually a small and warm space that can quickly become the perfect breeding ground for mold damage when exposed to excess moisture. A leaky pipe running through the ceiling of your crawl space can easily go unnoticed for a lengthy period, giving a mold colony plenty of time to grow. If you notice black, grey, green, or even blueish speckles along the ceiling and walls of your crawl space, it's a good idea to call for professional help.

Leaving the mold damage inside of your Gilford home can cause further complications. Mold is responsible for the decomposition of organic material, meaning it can cause the frame of your home to begin to decompose over time, as it is made of wood. Additionally, mold can also cause health effects for the residents of your home. Calling for professional help can ensure the prevention of further complications.

When you call SERVPRO, we make it a priority to send our technicians to your home as quickly as we can. Our Estimator can arrive ahead of our technicians and walk you through the damage after doing an initial investigation. They can explain to you a solution that our technicians can take and answer any questions that you may have.

Once our SERVPRO IICRC-certified technicians arrive at your home, they can begin to work at once. Using plastic sheeting, they can create a barrier to keep the damage quarantined in one area while they work. Our techs can use a disinfectant to remove the initial sources of mold inside your crawl space.

Afterward, we can spray an antifungal solution to help prevent any regrowth. As a final measure to thoroughly ensure that your crawl space continues to be mold-free, SERVPRO can set up ventilation fans and air movers to help return the space to acceptable moisture levels.
