Mildew is likely to grow in the grout lines in your bathroom.

Detecting and Remediating Mold Damage

Mold is a major nuisance in Battle Ground homes. It discolors drywall, blackens the grout lines in your bathroom, darkens decks, creates black spots on siding, and rots damp wood everywhere. Worse still, it can cause health effects on you and your family.

If you have a mold problem in your house, SERVPRO can provide mold damage remediation services to restore your Battle Ground property. We have a stock of state-of-the-art tools and equipment designed to kill mold and prevent further attacks. Our IICRC-approved technicians are highly experienced in water damage restoration, which is important to repair the source of water triggering the mold growth.

Mold is everywhere. It is a type of fungus that begins as tiny spores floating in the air. It can grow virtually anywhere with moisture and a suitable temperature, generally 40-100 degrees F, and cause considerable mold damage. Typically this includes about every damp area in your home.

The most conspicuous type of mold is known as mildew, which often develops as tiny, black spots and then grows into larger colonies. It is the black stuff that appears outdoors on the surfaces of painted siding, deck boards, on damp walls, and in the grout lines in your bathroom (particularly in damp and dark places). To distinguish a mildewed surface from a dirty one, SERVPRO technicians simply spray a few drops of antimicrobial product on the blackened area and wait for 1-2 minutes. If it lightens, it shows the presence of mildew.

Severe mold damage usually comes with a distinct odor. If you notice a pungent musty odor, contact SERVPRO right away to inspect for mold on wet roof sheathing, wet wood, damp crawlspaces, damp walls, damp carpets, and other areas. It is important to treat these surfaces within 48 hours of contamination; otherwise, the situation may get worse.

Mold growth is a serious problem that can damage your property and even cause health effects. If you detect the presence of mold in your home, SERVPRO of Lafayette can send experienced mold damage remediation experts to save your property. Call us anytime at (765) 420-0077.
