This is a perfect example of dangers lurking in places you can't always see. This homeowner found wet carpet and walls when they decided to call SERVPRO. It is important to catch a leak when it begins since mold can start growing within 48 hours of excessive moisture in an enclosed space. 

When mold hits you, fight back with SERVPRO's professional crews and equipment, like this HEPA Air Scrubber. This air scrubber sucks air inside of it, passes it through a three-stage HEPA filtration system to remove any airborne contaminants(mold spores in this homeowner's case), and pumps clean healthy air back out into the environment. 

Our technician shows that mold can hide behind your walls before you are aware there was even a problem. You can protect your home from mold by ensuring any water that has been present is cleaned up properly with plenty of time to dry completely so moisture doesn't get trapped behind the walls like in this homeowner's case.

This is a section of a wall covered in mold, due to a leak. The refrigerator was leaking for a period of time and the home owner was not aware of the damage happening.
