Storm Causes Mold Damage in Coatesville

12/22/2021 (Permalink)

The storm damage left behind by Hurricane Ida was extensive throughout the Chester County region.  SERVPRO of Kennett Square/Oxford helped to recover over 150 local homes and businesses from the significant flooding and structural damages they faced.  Recently, our team also received calls for mold damage due to the effects of the storm.  One homeowner in Coatesville who suffered severe storm damage had attempted to restore the home on his own.  However, the damage made a comeback when mold began to form and take over the entire property.  While the water had been removed from the premises, not all signs of water damage had been eliminated, causing what was left behind to grow into drastic mold growth.

SERVPRO of Kennett Square/Oxford recommends hiring a certified restoration professional to thoroughly complete storm restoration services in order to prevent a mold issue after a large storm event or any type of water-related damage.  Our restoration team quickly handled the mold contamination for the homeowner by removing all signs of mold growth.  In situations like this, we use our advanced air movers to fully remove all signs of hidden water.  We also utilize our air scrubbers in order to thoroughly remove harmful contaminants in a property.  This includes the removal of mold spores in the air which can cause respiratory and other health issues for those on the premises if not handled properly.
