SERVPRO of Mt Airy can inspect, assess, and remediate your property if you have a mold issue.

Discovering Mold in Your Mt Airy Home

You might have realized as a homeowner that even the slightest amount of persistent moisture and dampness can often launch some stubborn mold damage to deal with on organic materials. As frustrating as the sight of mold might be, even more alarming could be the truth that what you can see might not be the extent of the damage. One of the priorities of responding SERVPRO® professionals is to learn the full measure of the threat through a comprehensive assessment and inspection.

Is Mold Hiding Out of Sight? 

Mold damage in Mt Airy homes should be managed immediately. You might feel skilled enough to handle the surface mold you can see, but are you sure that’s the extent of the problem? Here are some areas that might also experience damage:

• Wall cavities contain moisture from high house humidity.
• Spaces between floors of the residence where leaks have occurred.  
• Crawl spaces that need to be appropriately encapsulated or ventilated.
• Attics that experience moisture absorption or have suffered a breach to allow water inside the structure.  

Finding the Mold You Can’t See 

Knowing the mold is there is one thing – finding and removing it is left to the professionals like our SERVPRO of Frederick County team. We have a range of methods to track moisture and damp pockets with thermal imagery and moisture sensors, but can also rely on trusted methods like:

• Using non-visual cues of growth 
• Pulling up carpeting to inspect for mildew and mold 
• Using exploratory holes to inspect for growth behind drywall 

SERVPRO is Here to Help  

Mold is not always as apparent and straightforward to remove as it might seem. It often takes a lot more than elbow grease on some drywall to solve the problem—and that is where we come in. SERVPRO Frederick County is a trusted choice for removing all the active mold colonies and organisms in your residence, wherever they may be. Call us today at (301) 691-4683.
