Attics tend to be a breeding ground for mold because of leaking roofs, improper ventilation, ice dams and the wrong kind of insulation used. 

Sometimes we work in small spaces! The attic mold job at this New Milford, CT home was one such time! Before working on the mold remediation, our estimator recommended that a leak that had caused the moisture be repaired. After the repair, our team was ready to begin cleaning up the mold. We used air movers and dehumidifiers to dry the New Milford attic out. We then filtered the air and used antimicrobial and antifungal treatments to reduce the mold count to safe levels. 

Prior to remediation on a basement mold job in Ridgefield, CT our team, including crew member Tim, first removed damaged items that could not be salvaged as well as items to be stored. The basement had experienced water damage for quite some time so much of what was stored there could not be saved. Our crew, based out of Brookfield CT,  filled 2 large dumpsters up with contents as well as carpeting and paneling that required removal. Once we had the basement empty, we were able to begin the process to reduce mold spores in the air and on the remaining surfaces.

When a dishwasher pipe cracked in this Ridgefield, CT home, the plumber called to the job discovered a significant amount of mold behind the dishwasher. This is a common scenario when hidden mold is found behind kitchen appliances and cabinetry.  A pipe can leak for years without detection and the water and dark conditions are the perfect place for mold to grow.  Our team used air scrubbers and vents to mitigate the mold in the home.

Sometimes, a homeowner isn't aware of a minor water drip that may be occurring behind the kitchen cabinets until they decide to renovate. When the cabinets are removed, the water damage becomes apparent. In this New Fairfield home, a slow leak from a kitchen pipe caused water damage to the walls and flooring. In addition, the wet, dark and damp conditions allowed mold to grow. The SERVPRO of Newtown and Southern Litchfield County team removed the walls and flooring, dried out the remaining structure of any remaining moisture. We then used our proprietary antibacterial and antimicrobial agents as well as air filtration system to address the mold spores.

When a hair salon owner noticed an odd smell in the salon, she called SERVPRO of Newtown and Southern Litchfield County to inspect it.  Our crew used a moisture sensing tool to locate any water that might be causing the musty smell. We discovered water and mold damage behind the walls from a pipe leak. The water also affected an adjacent business in the shopping center that shared the affected wall. If you have a business in the Brookfield, CT area and notice a musty smell, don't ignore it. If water damage is discovered  in it's early stages, we can restore your commercial space without major interruption to your business flow.

Humid, moist conditions in a basement can create the prime condition for black mold growth. Ceilings and sheetrock walls are often affected, as in the case of this home in Kent, CT.
