Mold formation and growth can become an issue in as little as 48 hours after moisture is introduced into porous materials, such as drywall and wood framing.  Roof leaks, broken pipes, and leaking appliances are just a few of the water sources that can provide the optimal environment for mold growth.  Along with the possibility of causing damage to your home or business, mold also has the potential to cause health effects for those who are exposed. SERVPRO of Northwest Escambia County has the training, protective gear, and specialized equipment necessary to remediate mold issues, and help restore your property to its preloss condition.
