Mold in Montgomery Basement

In this instance the Homeowners had water back up in the basement that absorbed into the wall left untreated for just a short amount of time. Damp walls in a dark and cool space is just the perfect place for mold to grow.

When mold areas get larger than about 10 square feet (about a square meter) or you don’t know the extent of the problem (for instance: mold can grow behind the walls) it is important to bring in a professional, like SERVPRO of Kendall County, who is familiar with how to deal with mold properly. This sized area usually requires extra precautions when removing mold. Much larger areas of mold can require very complicated procedures and precautions.
