Water leak causes mold on ceiling

SERVPRO of Bartlesville/Miami is called often when water damage isn't taken care of in a timely manner. This home had a water leak from an upstairs bathroom.  When the leak became visible on the ceiling below the leak was repaired, but  by this time there was visible mold on the ceiling and it needed mold remediation. 

SERVPRO Of Bartlesville/Miami is certified in Mold remediation.  They are also qualified to do an air quality testing for mold. 

Microscopic mold spores naturally occur almost everywhere, both outdoors and indoors. This makes it impossible to remove all mold from a home or business.  Therefore, mold remediation reduces the mold spore count back to its natural or baseline level.  Consider the following mold facts:

• Mold is present almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors.
• Mold spores are microscopic and float along in the air and may enter your home through windows, doors, or HVAC systems. Mold spores can even hitch a ride indoors on your clothing or a pet.
• Mold Spores thrive on moisture. Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water. These colonies may produce allergens and irritants. 
• Before mold remediation can begin, any sources of water or moisture must be addressed. Otherwise, the mold may return.
• Mold often produces a string, musty odor and can lead you to possible mold problem areas.
•  Even higher-than-normal indoor humidity can support mold growth. Keep indoor humidity level below 45 percent.

If your home or business has a mold problem, we can inspect and assess your property and use our specialized training, equipment, and expertise to remediate your mold.
