Mitigating Water Damage in Leland Homes

3/10/2022 (Permalink)

After your property suffers water damage, call SERVPRO quickly to try and prevent mold from setting in. Fast action gives you better results.

Our Technicians are Quick to the Scene of a Water Damage Emergency

Wherever water ends up in locations that should normally be off-limits to the liquid, serious damage can result. Materials such as drywall swell soon after contact with the water is allowed to continue, and denser materials, such as wood, can also become swollen if the length of time increases even more. 
 
Homeowners know that there are many things that can cause problems for their homes but may not fully realize the extent of the Leland water damage in the event of a broken pipe or overflowing toilet. These situations call for much more than a quick mop-up of the area. Water spreads is drawn downward by gravity, and can also work its way upwards by using the absorbency of walls and drapes that touch the floor. 
 
As water saturates an area, secondary water damages begin to happen. The entire vicinity can start to develop mold within 48 hours. Odors quickly develop, as well. Staining of walls, carpeting, and area rugs can soon become noticeable. Wallpaper can begin to peel because of the increased moisture in the air. The aesthetic effects are not pleasant. However, we at SERVPRO can help you and your family by restoring your home, so it is “Like it never even happened,” again. 
 
Each and every aspect related to water damage is a crucial part of the entire restoration process. SERVPRO employees are trained extensively, earning them certificates from the IICRC. Combined with this detailed training is experience gained from large and small jobs. Our technicians know and understand the principles of restoration for each kind of disaster. Also, knowing how to use the tools and equipment needed to undo any and all damage, including extensive destruction, is required by many of the jobs we complete. We understand that your home is your castle, and we want to help you regain control of it again. 
 
SERVPRO of Brunswick and South Columbus Counties can help with water damage and other disasters, whenever they affect your home. Call us at (910) 755-6717, anytime, day or night, and any day of the week. We are always here for you.

Mold can spread quickly and cause damage in its path. Contact SERVPRO right away for remediation services.

Team SERVPRO Arrives Equipped to Tackle a Mold Infestation in Your Home 

Starting off your annual vacation by finding mold damage in your summer home is never a pleasant way to kick off a trip. You could have traveled halfway across the country to relax and spend time with your family, but the discovery allows for anything but that. The damage can create unplanned expenses, such as the option of staying in a hotel until the mess is sorted out. While it is not always necessary, it is understandable that you would want to keep your family away from the mold as it can cause health effects. 
 
Relying on a professional restoration company can ensure that the remediation of the mold damage in your Caswell Beach home happens as quickly as possible. When you call us, our techs can get to your property shortly after. Our estimator can talk you through the damage, your options, and explain the process, as well as answer any questions. We strive to keep you informed, involved and updated. 
 
SERVPRO understands that a lot of mold in your home can make you worry about your belongings. Mold causes the decay of organic materials and having wooden furniture as well as leather inside of a mold-infected house is not good. However, we aim to remediate all of the damage that we can. 
 
To start, SERVPRO can section off the areas of your home where there is damage to limit the ability of the colonies to spread. While we clean the area thoroughly, we can set up air scrubbers with HEPA filters to catch spores and odorous particles into the air, eliminating the musty scent while we work. SERVPRO can thoroughly clean mold from non-porous materials using disinfectants and then reduce the chances of regrowth with antifungal sprays. We strive to make you feel "Like it never even happened," by the time we finish. 
 
Do not idle if you find mold damage inside of your home. Phone (910) 755-6717 to contact SERVPRO of Brunswick and South Columbus Counties. Whatever time you need us, day or night, we can be there.

Mold Damage in Leland

Mold remediation from SERVPRO will lead to a cleaner healthier living environment.

Mold is a problem that sneaks up on people and begins to destroy homes before many people are aware of it. Many times, they never see a colony until it has grown into the walls and cost hundreds if not thousands of dollars to remedy.

Before we begin an inspection or start wiping down walls, there are some questions one of our inspectors here at SERVPRO will ask you about your Leland area home, these answers can help us speed up the process to return your residence to its original state.

Have you had a prior mold infestation in your home? If you have, this will tell us exactly where to begin looking for the probable source of the new mold colony. If you have the report from the company you used last time, please have that available. 

Have you had recent water damage? If you have, this has raised the surrounding moisture level in the air and possibly the building material. A high moisture level is required for mold spores to expand and begin growing. They are inert and harmless otherwise. Ask SERVPRO for advice.

Have you seen mold around your air vents or ducts? If there is any chance that mold has gotten into your air conditioner, the first thing our technicians will want to do is seal it off and flip the breaker switch to ensure spores are not accidentally spread throughout the structure. 

Answering these questions helps our response team establish containment zones faster and prepare your home for mold remediation and removal more efficiently. If you see, smell, or just suspect mold because of recent water damage, call us today at (910) 755-6717 for an inspection and to get the remediation process started. SERVPRO of Brunswick and South Columbus Counties is here to assist you.

First, have you seen any mold and where is it? If you find black spots and streaks in your home, this is your visual sign that you have a fungi problem. It is where we'll start the inspection and begin using air quality meters to determine how contaminated the air has become. 

Next, have you smelled a musty odor? Often the first sign of a mold infestation, but not every type of mold spores releases an odor. Visual inspection is still the best way to find it. If the odor is the only outward sign, then the next questions become vital. 

Have you had recent water damage? If you have, this has raised the surrounding moisture level in the air and possibly the building material. A high moisture level is required for mold spores to expand and begin growing. They are inert and harmless otherwise.
