SERVPRO of Eau Claire Professionals handle water damages every single day and know prompt action is required to prevent mold growth. Mold is more likely to spread when an environment has been subject to moisture for a long period of time. If your property has sustained a recent water damage, it is vital to remove excess water and dry the structure as soon as possible. If there is an ongoing moisture problem in the building, it is important to be on the lookout for:

• The presence of visible mold.
• Strong musty odors which may indicate mold is present.
• Any evidence of past moisture problems that might have caused undetected mold growth.
• Excessive humidity.

These conditions may require the expertise of a qualified Indoor Air Quality/ Environmental Professional to inspect the building for mold growth and water damage problems.

If you think you have a mold issue, call 715-834-3473. A SERVPRO of Eau Claire Professional trained in mold remediation will examine the structure for any visible signs of mold. In the event mold is found, you will be asked to sign a work authorization form prior to any mold cleanup or related work being performed. The technician may also recommend you leave the affected area while the mold cleanup and associated containment process is being safely completed.
