Residential Mold Remediation Due to a Hot Water Heater Leak II

More images of the damaged caused by a hot water heater leak that went undetected for an unknown amount of time. When responding to this water damage emergency our technichians discovered mold growth behind the woodwork and drywall.

The mold remediation process depends on the amount of mold growth and the types of surfaces on which the mold appears. In this case it was necessary to remove and dispose of mold-infested porous materials, like drywall and carpeting, to remediate heavy mold growth. We also used anti-fungal and antimicrobial treatments to eliminate mold colonies and to help prevent new colonies from forming.
