Hidden Mold?

5/19/2021 (Permalink)

Mold can begin to form in your house if there is a leaky pipe, window condensation or recent flooding. These conditions along with a humidity level between 30% - 50% makes for the prefect atmosphere for mold to grow.

Some people have mold and they aren’t even aware. This person had a previous water damage that they didn’t know about and when Hurricane Irma hit and the water came into their home SERVPRO of East Louisville was there to help them repair the damage.  As They were pulling up the hardwood floor, we found Black Mold under the subfloor.    

The odor was so bad that other apartment owners were coming into the hallway to ask them what the smell was.  SERVPRO was able to remove the affected floor, dry and treat the floor to prevent mold from continuing to grow, as well as remove the terrible odor.  This is something that we all need to keep in mind because you never know what is growing in your home.

  We are bringing Duct Cleaning to their attention because mold can, and does, grow in your air ducts.  As winter approaches and you turn on your furnace, this makes a breeding ground for mold which can cause numerous health effects.

If you want to ensure a healthy home this Summer season, reach out to SERVPRO of Gillette, Sheridan at (307) 288-1559 about scheduling a Duct Cleaning for your home.
