In many cases once an area has been affected my fungal growth the only option is replacement.  The SERVPRO technician seen here is in the process of removing contaminated drywall so disinfecting and replacement can begin.

A water loss is a common catalyst for mold growth.  The longer a material stays wet the greater the chances of mold growth in an area.  The materials around this leaky water heater where left unattended making the issue much worse.

Mold can quickly take over area in your home if given the right environment.  The right combination of heat and moisture allows this fungus to spread quickly.  If you find mold in your home,  SERVPRO has the trained staff to help you remove it.
