SERVPRO Techs Handle Mold Remediation in Willimantic Properties

The need for mold remediation in Willimantic properties often will not announce itself. Mold colonies prefer to stay behind the scenes to grow and spread. Fortunately, some small signs can reveal the presence of this pesky problem.

SERVPRO technicians perform professional mold damage cleanup in Willimantic properties regularly. The presence of mold always is a symptom of an issue within the structure. Frequently seen problems that can create a friendly environment for colony growth include:

• Poor circulation in an attic or crawlspace retaining moist air
• Malfunctioning exhaust fans failing to dispel humid air
• Slow leak behind an appliance or wall

Signs of a Mold Problem

While it quietly continues to spread, the mold will also show that it is active within the structure. Some of the most common signs are stains on drywall. The air coming out of the ductwork can have a musty odor when mold is present. SERVPRO technicians can include a deep clean of the vents and ducts within the property as part of the remediation if necessary.

The grout on the tile in a bathroom can also give away the presence of mold. If the grout is dark and continues to darken, there could be an ongoing mold issue that requires addressing. SERVPRO technicians can use their equipment to detect any collections of moisture behind the walls to determine if it is likely to have colony growth.

Peeling Wallpaper and Tiles

Adhesion is lost when mold grows behind wallpaper or under tiles, and the material pulls away from the wall. This is one of the simplest ways mold reveals itself with visual confirmation
