Mold and Water Damage

Wet Basement Causes Mold Damage in Portland, ME

A pipe that burst in this basement caused flooding. The issue was that the basement wasn't used very much and the family didn't realize that it was wet.

When the humidity rose some of the furniture, such as this chest, started growing mold. This problem is called "secondary damage" and is usually questionable on insurance coverage.

Calling SERVPRO of Portland when the water loss happened would have saved the furniture from growing mold. Quick mitigation is the key to keeping your home free of mold damage after it has suffered a water loss.
