Mold Growth on the Back of this Drywall in a Basement in Galloway NJ

A slight leak in the foundation at this Galloway NJ home cause the bottom of the wall and the carpet to repeatedly get wet which caused a mold issue.

SERVPRO of SERVPRO of Atlantic City/Hamilton/Hammonton was called and we were able to assist this family.  

The first step is to isolate the area and place the space under negative pressure by using a HEPA Filtered Air Scrubber.  This will prevent the spread of the mold spores into other areas of the home.  Next our staff will put on the proper Person Protective Equipment (PPE) and begin the remediation process.  When to removal of damaged materials is complete we then clean and seal the remaining structural items such as concrete floors, sill plates and stud walls.

Every mold infestation is different, from the extent and type of growth, to the variety of materials affected. Each scenario requires a unique solution, but the general process stays the same. When you discover mold, call SERVPRO of Atlantic City/Hamilton/Hammonton at 609-965-0885 and we will go through our standard mold inspection.
