Secondary Damage - Mold

8/6/2016 (Permalink)

Mold is a secondary effect from water damage if left untreated.

Timely mitigation is the key to reducing secondary damages from any water damage. This is an example of what happens when the damage goes untreated. Last week's heavy rains caused this building to take a foot of water into the structure. Unfortunately, it went undiscovered, resulting in this mold growth (secondary damage). There was so much moisture in the room that the ceiling tiles were sagging. SERVPRO of Carbondale/Clarks Summit/Old Forge was called by the building's owner to help dry the structure and remove the mold growth so that he could continue to operate his business in a safe and healthy manner. SERVPRO of Carbondale/Clarks Summit/Old Forge is the Scranton area's leader in smoke, fire and water restoration.
