Mold can take over

Heavy mold growth occurred after a pipe leaked while this home was vacant.

SERVPRO specializes in remediation work of all kinds. This bathroom suffered from microbial growth that wicked almost four feet up the wall. With growth like this, it is required by the IICRC S520 standard to remove all affected materials. Our microbial growth specialists set up containment to keep any particles that may be aerosolized during the work contained in a small area to make clean up easier. They then removed the drywall, door casing, and door jamb and then treated the framing to seal in any spores that may have rooted in non-removable structure items. After all the affected material were removed, they cleaned up any remaining debris, then fogged the contained area to prevent spores from spreading any further.

The reconstruction division then stepped in and replaced the drywall, door jamb, and door casing then finished up with texture and paint to make it look "Like it never even happened."
