Is Mold Possible After Storm Damage to Coral Springs Homes?

Mold damage presents in many colors and grows very fast. Call SERVPRO at the first sight. We are standing by 24/7 for your emergency call.

Persistent Moisture Can Cause Mold Damage to Coral Springs Properties 

Storms are not uncommon to Coral Springs and the surrounding areas when water infiltrates your home or confined spaces like the attic, restorers, and remediators of our SERVPRO teamwork to resolve these issues fast.

Lingering Moisture Could be a Threat

Post-storm effects can ultimately cause mold damage to Coral Springs homes when moist conditions go unresolved. Not only does this dampness pose a structural integrity risk of its own, but persistent moisture is required to develop mold colonies. 

The Rapid Expanse of Mold Organisms

One of the alarming traits of active growth is how rapidly mold organisms can spread throughout a property. With many types of sensitive materials, from sheetrock to wood framing, there are considerable damages these intruding organisms can cause. Once the mold is visible, it is likely to exist on nearby surfaces you cannot see as well. 

Effective Remediation of Confined Spaces

Our SERVPRO team needs to act fast to do more than clean up after storm damage to the house. When mold is believed to exist, remediation work must begin quickly to prevent the spread of harmful organisms, especially in confined spaces. Some of these approaches include:

• Surface Cleaning with Products – The first possible step for removing active mold colonies is surface cleaning using biocides and sporicidal products. 

• Abrasive Mechanical Actions – It is possible to clear out mold without destroying the underlying substrate using mechanical actions to eliminate seated colonies like sanding and steel wool.

• Aggressive Removal Measures – When less severe mold removal tactics have been attempted without success, the most aggressive of our attempts, like media blasting or controlled demolition, are necessary. 

Mold can be an underestimated yet highly destructive situation for homes. Considering the conditions that facilitate this growth, structural compromise exists to specific hosting materials. Our SERVPRO of West Coral Springs / West Parkland remediators works fast to protect your property and contents from avoidable damage. Call (954) 973-4130.
