Mold Infestation in Mapleton?
12/28/2021 (Permalink)
I had no idea there was a leak in my Mapleton home until I saw the water stain on the ceiling. I knew the upstairs bathroom was overhead, so I had an idea about what the issue was. My insurance adjuster told me to call SERVPRO® of Fargo. They sent out a team, and after inspecting the area, they discovered water damage and mold growing inside the ceiling. Fortunately, the SERVPRO team took care of both problems.
Here are some facts and tips on what to do and on what not to do if you find mold:
- Significant mold growth can occur in 48-72 hours
- Mold may present a greater risk to children, the elderly, and anyone with respiratory problems
- A strong, musty odor may indicate hidden mold behind drywall or under carpeting
What to Do
- Stay out of affected areas
- Turn off the HVAC system and fans
- Contact SERVPRO of Fargo for mold remediation services
What Not to Do
- Don’t touch or disturb the mold
- Don’t blow air across any surfaces with visible or suspected mold growth
- Don’t attempt to dry the area yourself
- Don’t spray bleach or other disinfectants on the mold
