The Heat is On!

This previously water-damaged drywall displays mold growth that may have been avoided with timely water mitigation.

In the Chester County area, we have experienced some heavy rainfalls over the past several weeks, and we at SERVPRO of North East Chester County know first-hand the flooding and water intrusion issues that this has caused for many of our neighbors.  We have assisted with the mitigation and clean-up of many weather-related water losses, and have spent many an hour pumping water out of the flooded basements of our thankful customers.  However, it is not uncommon for homeowners to not properly address these types of issues when they first occur, thinking that the damage "isn't that bad" or "I can handle this myself."  Unfortunately, without the involvement of a professional restoration company like SERVPRO of North East Chester County, there are often aspects of the mitigation and clean-up that are missed and go unaddressed.  The harsh reality of this is that once the weather heats up, any materials that were not properly dried and treated may provide ideal conditions for mold growth, wood rot, you name it!  The cost of a professional water damage mitigation may performed in a timely fashion may be a mere fraction of an extensive mold remediation weeks or months after the fact.  The good news is that SERVPRO of North East Chester County provides fair, reasonable, and stringent mold remediation services and we are just a phone call away!
