Mold damage can consume your Plantation home quicker than you realize, we can be there to assist you.

If you have mold in your Plantation home give SERVPRO a call, we will be happy to help.

Our SERVPRO professionals have helped to recover Plantation homes and businesses affected by mold and microbial threats. Often, these conditions develop due to water loss incidents that were mismanaged or inadequately dried. Failing to address all present moisture and saturation concerns can allow for both structural degradation and unknown fungal growth. 

While many homeowners are reluctant to authorize controlled demolition, this is often the only way to determine a need for mold damage repair in Plantation houses. Much like homeowners are not quick to wish reconstruction needs on the project, predatory restoration companies can rush the drying process and forgo more intricate inspection processes to avoid getting into services that would require subcontracting demolition or build back to another company. Our SERVPRO team has considerable experience in mold repairs, beginning with a group of qualified restoration technicians and licensed (MRSR2994) mold remediation contractors. 

A failure to inspect and understand the migration of water loss incidents can open up materials like OSB subflooring and framing to excessive saturation. Because these materials are porous, they can often quickly absorb the moisture from the event and trap this moisture beneath the surface. Present spores can land on these damp materials and find a welcoming surface to facilitate mold colonization. 

Because our remediation technicians can approach properties that have already been inadequately dried by other restoration teams, our SERVPRO professionals must often plan for the inevitability of microbial threats. To immediately address this concern, many of the structural elements affected can get removed and later replaced with the experienced contractors of our build back team. Failure to overcome any microbial threats that exist can delay the drying process and leave areas of your home more vulnerable to structural collapse. 

You might not always immediately assume that mold damage could exist in your home, especially if you have gotten led to believe that the recent water damage incident was thoroughly dry. We have seen many post-water damage mold concerns, and our SERVPRO of Ft. Lauderdale South team can help however you need. Give us a call today at (954) 776-2000.
