Mold Damage & Repair for Your Property

7/31/2024 (Permalink)

Mold can be a serious threat to your property and health if not addressed promptly. Often found in damp, humid areas like basements, bathrooms, and attics, mold spreads quickly and can cause extensive damage to your home or business. It can deteriorate building materials, lead to structural issues, and reduce indoor air quality, making it crucial to address mold issues as soon as they arise.

The first step in tackling mold damage is to identify and eliminate the source of moisture. Whether it’s a leaky roof, broken pipe, or poor ventilation, fixing the underlying problem is essential to prevent mold from returning. Once the moisture issue is resolved, professional mold remediation is necessary to remove the mold and repair the damage it has caused.

A certified mold remediation team will conduct a thorough inspection to assess the extent of the damage and develop a tailored plan for removal. This process typically involves containing the affected area, removing contaminated materials, and using specialized equipment to eliminate mold spores from the air. After the mold is removed, repairs can begin. This may include replacing drywall, insulation, and flooring, as well as repainting and restoring the affected areas to their original condition.

Mold damage can be overwhelming, but with the right approach and professional help, your property can be restored to a safe and healthy environment. Don’t let mold take over your home—act quickly to protect your investment and well-being.

About Commercial A.C. Units.

9/28/2022 (Permalink)

It’s important to for business owners to think about the comfort of their customers. An air conditioning (A.C.) system is a key element in creating a comfortable environment for employees plus customers.  As a business owner, it is important to maintain your A.C. unit to prevent damages to your business. Over time, A.C. systems can degrade potentially causing water damage to a ceiling or surrounding areas.  To prevent this from happening use these tips:

• Condensation drain lines are a common area for water leaks on an ac unit.  Ensure lines are properly insulated and that no excess water is leaking due to condensation.  Call a professional if you notice excess water in the area around your condenser pipe.   
• Damage or rusted drain pan is a common issue with older air conditioning units.   Inspect your drain pan for any signs of corrosion or rust.
• Air filters.  Clogged air filters block the airflow to the evaporator coil which then gets too cold.  As the A.C. is not being used, the coil begins to defrost which can cause excessive water to be deposited in the drain pan which can potentially cause drain pan overflow.  In this case, filters should be replaced immediately.

If your business or commercial building has water damage from the air conditioning system, give the professionals at SERVPRO of Sugar Land a call today!  Our highly trained franchise professionals to make it look “Like it never even happened.”
