This was the aftermath of a roof leak caused by severe thunderstorms in the area. There was significant water damage to the bathroom and pieces of the roof came down into the bathroom. Well trained SERVPRO technicians were able to get their bathroom cleaned up in two days!

Mold growth thrives in contained areas with very little air flow.  When excess water in drywall and wood studs is left for days or weeks, often times mold growth occurs.  At this point, the affected drywall should be removed and the wood studs require mold remediation procedures.  These steps are significantly more costly than drying them out when the flooding occurred.

This customer was gone on vacation when a heavy rain storm arrived.  A large tree in their backyard fell on to their roof and cracked several tiles, which allowed large amounts of water to flood their attic and ceiling.  The water damage was extensive in several rooms of the house.

When water damage or flooding is not addressed quickly, mold growth can occur and increase the scope and expense of the job.  This baseboard was only wet for 48 hours before mold growth started.  There was also mold growth in the wall cavity so the drywall needed to be removed, instead of dried.

This customer had a slow leak water damage in the wall behind their shower.  When the customer saw their baseboard was wet and swollen in the room behind the shower, they knew to call the professionals at SERVPRO for help.  After removing the baseboard and finding mold, the experienced crew knew to remove the drywall to find the much larger problem behind the shower.

Almost any plumbing fixture is capable of having the main sewer line backup grossly contaminated water into it.  In these types of floods, safety is the utmost priority.  The water which comes from the sewer usually contains bacteria and viruses that can be life long problems for humans if they become infected.

After a wind a rain storm, this customer move a picture on the wall to find mold growth.  When the experts at SERVPRO inspected her home, the crew discovered the customer had a roof leak from the wind, which caused water damage to the exterior wall.  The drywall started to dry, but where the picture was, there was no air flow and the drywall remained wet.  After several days, mold growth began behind the picture.
