Mold growing through the wall

When a water leak is behind the wall the wet cellulose in the sheet rock gives mold a food source. The mycotoxins (gases put out by mold when growing) may not be readily noticeable until it presents itself through the wall as it did here.  

Mold Damage From A Roof Leak

The homeowner travels and also does not use this area of the home very much. A roof leak routed water into the garage and onto the sheet rock ceiling. As we have said in other blogs mold needs water, a food source and time to spread. The more water intrusion onto the food source the bigger the spread. This is why it is important to call us right away to prevent the secondary damage. Plus the cost of restoring and drying structure is less than having to replace it. When you have a water damage in your home or office call the team of SERVPRO of West Forsyth County at 336-946-1131 It's best to call us directly. 

Ceiling mold

Mold needs three things to grow. A food source like sheet rock, water, and time. if there is a roof leak in the ceiling you may not know you have a mold problem until it's presenting itself on the visible side in the living space. 

Mold behind the wall

Mold needs three things to grow. A food source like sheet rock, water, and time. if there is a leak behind the wall you may not know you have a mold problem until it's presenting itself on the visible side of the wall. 

Hidden Mold

Air conditioning units often have a way to move condensation water away from the air handler in your attic or basement. When the condensate drain line becomes clogged and or the drip pan overflows it can lead to a hidden leak behind the wall or at the base of the wall like it is seen here. When left undetected it can cause mold growth.

Mold

The drop ceiling tiles commonly used in basements are like sponges when they get wet. They are also rich in cellulose content. Cellulose is a food source for mold. Water, a food source and time / opportunity are all the things that are needed for mold to grow and thrive. It is very important that if you notice a water spot form on your ceiling that you find the source of the leak quickly. Repairing the root cause of the water source will limit the secondary damage you may face later. Doing nothing about a water leak could cost more money in mitigation and repairs later.

Mold

Mold needs water, food, time and opportunity to grow. Water is a life giving resource for all organisms. The organic material we build our houses out of feeds mold while it is developing. Time and opportunity are a condition of the environment. Who checks under the stairwell that often? In this case a water damage occurred in a part of the home that is not used very often. The uncontrolled water in this case spread to areas that gave fungal growth the opportunity to spread and flourish. Don't just assume that a basement is naturally musty. If the smell of mildew and mold are strong enough to smell you may need SERVPRO of West Forsyth County services. It's best to call us directly 336-946-1131
