What's hiding in your walls?

Most experts agree that the most perilous mold is the one that is unseen, such as in air conditioning units, duct-work, or as in this case within walls.

This office in Bolingbrook, IL noticed excess moisture and a musty odor before reaching out to SERVPRO.

The mold seen in these photos was professionally remediated and the office was restored with minimal business interruption.

These molds can swell up rapidly while undetected. In most cases, hidden molds can be discerned not by eye but by the stale odor or the frequent need to clear your throat. Proper care and maintenance will typically prevent these.

Mold is an extremely small, dangerous element that belongs to the family of fungi. It can thrive on almost any surface especially cellulose-based objects.

Molds are present almost everywhere. Though they maybe harmful at times, molds are a big part of the ecological balance in the environment, as they play a major role in breaking down organic substances. Molds are the original recyclers.

According to some recent studies, approximately 50 percent of homes have unknown moisture problems. And as we all know, molds thrive best in moist places.
