SERVPRO Technicians will NOT ONLY Remediate Mold Damage on Your Property, They Will Guide and Show You Many Effective Preventative Measures

People often confuse mold and mildew. While both are used to describe fungal growth, mildew presents as a light-colored powder, with molds containing more colors and a fuzzy texture. Regardless, these are all visible groups of fungi that form and spread over various types of organic matter, including many building materials found in your home.

You may not notice mold in your home right away; it can be a very subtle or even hidden growth that begins in your property.  SERVPRO provides you with expertly trained mold remediation specialists who understand how mold acts, responds, and develops.   

SERVPRO understands that controlling mold is as easy as controlling moisture levels in your home. We use a variety of equipment to remove moisture including air movers, dehumidifiers, and advanced moisture detection to get even the smallest areas under control. We can even make recommendations that help prevent future growth.
