Mold Growth Caused by Leaky Water Pipe in Tampa Home

Mold can be a severe threat to a home. While it may seem like a small, unsightly problem, it can cause structural damage and health problems for residents, such as respiratory and skin issues, and trigger allergies. Mold thrives in damp, moist areas and can quickly spread if left untreated. If you suspect your home has mold growth, immediately addressing the problem is essential.

Contact a professional mold removal and remediation company to eliminate mold growth in your home. Because mold growth is precarious, a team of experienced professionals has the knowledge and state-of-the-art equipment to handle it safely and swiftly.

Unseen Mold Discovery

We recently received a call from a single-story home in Tampa, Florida, dealing with a mold crisis. Although using a dehumidifier can help prevent a mold crisis, always consult a restoration specialist when you have a serious mold problem. When our PuroClean technicians arrived, they conducted a thorough assessment and found a mold-damaged wall completely saturated. Our team then proceeded to investigate the source of the water damage. They discovered a cracked and leaky water pipe in the attic.

Once we determined the water damage source, we set up a large containment around the work area to prevent mold from spreading throughout the home. We then began the mold remediation, which required us to remove the damaged wall. Our technicians found more mold growth previously hidden within the wall when we did so.

After removing all the affected moldy materials, we cleaned and treated the remaining framing using an antimicrobial solution. This solution stops mold growth in its tracks. As a final preventative measure, we encapsulated the frame with antimicrobial paint.

Because we were under time constraints, our technicians banded together to ensure the work was finished promptly. We commenced on a Tuesday, and we were done by Friday. The client, an older man whose daughter is the property’s landlord, was very pleased with our efforts. Thank you to our incredible team for their hard work!
