Leak Leads to Mold Problems in Maumelle

The misaligned drain hose from the washing machine deposited a volume of grey, organically laced water inside this small closet space. The moisture activated the dormant mold spores and developed into a large mold patch that consumed the cardboard backing thus rendering the wall weak. The After Photo illustrates how SERVPRO technicians can prepare the damaged area for antimicrobial spraying and then a light coat of mold retardent primer. Containment of the treatable area is crucial by sealing with poly sheeting and then using a vacuum outfitted with a HEPA filter to prevent the dispersion of spores and mold particles to clean areas of the home. The final result is important, but equally so are the proper steps in the service.
