How Likely is Mold Damage After Water Disasters?

SERVPRO Says Prevent Mold Remediation in Your Bristol Home with Rapid Water Cleanup and Removal by Us!

When your Bristol home suffers a water disaster, it is vital to get the property thoroughly dried to avoid secondary effects like mold growth.

Saturation and the exposure of high permeability materials in your Bristol home can allow for unwanted movements. The movement of moisture and water throughout your property can become a considerable threat to the structure, especially when homeowners do not know how extensive or widespread this condition has become. DIY drying solutions do not always address the full scope of moisture threats in the house, leaving the properties acceptable to secondary conditions like mold and microbial growth.

Do Moldy Problems Often Accompany a Water Leak?

While you might not realize how likely mold damage in Bristol homes is, conditions continually exist to facilitate microbial threats based on higher humidity conditions in the area year-round. After property damage from water in Bristol, failure to appropriately dry these effects in the house can allow for the development of mold colonies from naturally occurring spores landing on damp surfaces. We utilize industry-leading tools to address surface moisture as well as trapped wet pockets inside wall systems.

How Can SERVPRO Prevent Mold Recurrences?

Preventing mold and microbial threats in your house does not have to be an insurmountable task, but it often requires our experienced contractors and mold remediation specialists. Not only must you address the current fungal threat, but you must also determine if lingering moisture was a result of a failure to dry your property after a recent disaster appropriately or if this dampness occurs from another source that must get corrected by our residential contractors. Our team of building trade professionals can offer:

• Repairs
• Reconstruction
• Installing Dehumidifiers and Pumps

Not every water damage situation in a residence results in mold growth, but every one of these disasters can. Prolonged exposure to moisture and damp conditions allows mold spores to grow and colonize, presenting threats to the structure and possible health effects to the occupants. We offer thorough drying approaches with air movers, dehumidifiers, and other specialty evaporative drying tools. Give our SERVPRO of Bristol team a call anytime at (860) 582-3330.
