Moldy Ceiling in Mobile, AL

A small water leak can cause widespread damage, especially if it is in a concealed area such as the ceiling or wall cavity.  Homeowners often don’t realize they have an issue until staining becomes visible or paint begins to peel.  Even if the affected area must be torn out, it is still important to call an IICRC certified water damage restoration expert.  Once affected materials are removed, you want to make sure that structural materials are properly dried and treated to prevent mold growth.  SERVPRO of North County was called out to this home that suffered water damage as the result of a roof leak.  Although we couldn’t save the saturated drywall, we were able to tear it out, dry any residual moisture and treat with an antimicrobial agent.  If you are worried about water damage in your home call SERVPRO of Mobile County to schedule an inspection today!
