Spring Storms Not Properly Dried Cause Issues Down the Road

Each year, the Midwest is hit by one or more heavy rain storms.

Several months after the rains have struck, SERVPRO of La Crosse receives requests for mold cleanup because buildings that had water intrusions by the rains and were not properly dried.

Buildings that remain wet or damp can cause mold to grow.... mold thrives in damp buildings. Mold feeds off of the paper liners on the damp sheet rock. Mold, dry rot, and bacteria growth are often the result when a wet building is not properly, or quickly dried. Mold can pose a health threat to occupants and it will certainly damage structural materials in the building.

The mold damage restoration may be far more expensive than what it would have cost to dry the structure in the first place.

Don't make this mistake, call SERVPRO as soon as you notice your property is wet. 608.786.0387
