Commercial Mold Problem in Lloyd District

When the roof to our office complex leaked, enough moisture came into the building to create a mold problem. There was a musty odor that I could not locate anywhere in the building. The next day I looked up and saw mold spreading across the ceiling where it hadn’t been yesterday. I called SERVPRO of North Portland / West Hawthorne, and they sent a team out to mitigate and remediate the problem. Here are some facts about mold from our website:

  • Mold is present almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors
  • Mold spores are microscopic and float along in the air, and may enter your home through windows, doors, or air conditioning or heating systems or even hitch a ride indoors on your clothing or a pet
  • Mold spores thrive on moisture
  • Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water
  • Before mold remediation can begin, any sources of water or moisture must be addressed to discourage the mold from returning
  • Mold often produces a strong, musty odor and can lead you to possible mold problem areas

Fast response is the single most critical factor in restoring water-damaged materials.The longer wanter and moisture sit in your property means more time for materials to soak up water and break down material structure. 

Materials like sheetrock and installation act like a sponge and hold soak up water and bacteria. The longer that sheetrock, installation sit the less likely they are to be able to be dried in place. 

Carpet and Pad also act like a huge sponge and can take a long time to dry out. If you experience storm or flood damage to your home or business, call SERVPRO of North Portland/ West Hawthorne.
