If you are a business owner or homeowner with mold, it is important to take some steps before SERVPRO arrives to help contain the damage. This may include taking pictures of the affected areas, removing any wet or damaged items, stopping the source of water if possible, and cleaning mold off hard surfaces with soap and water. If the mold is on a fabric surface, dry it off and then wash it with detergent. Once you have cleaned the mold from all surfaces, put all of these items into a plastic bag and label it clearly so that SERVPRO can easily identify them when they arrive. Then simply wait for our team to come and address your mold problem. We have the experience and expertise necessary to quickly remove mold from your property and restore it to its original condition.
