Leaks Can Cause More Than Just Water Damage

10/16/2019 (Permalink)

Water leaks, if left unchecked long enough, can not only result in water damage, but also mold damage.

SERVPRO of Atchafalaya is a local restoration franchise that is extensively trained to perform mitigation for water damage, fire damage, storm damage, and mold damage. 

Mold damage in particular can be tricky to treat. If it is discovered early enough, it is something that our technicians are certified to remediate. Some manifestations of mold are caught early enough that they can be treated.

In the case of this home, however, an undiscovered leak continued for some time, and even a thorough cleaning wouldn't be enough to remove all traces of mold. That left SERVPRO of Atchafalaya no choice but to remove all of the contaminated material, treat the remaining components of the structure to prevent mold from growing in the future, and prep the home for reconstruction.
