Too many people believe myths about mold. Myths like mold only grows in wet or moist places. Myths like you can kill all mold with bleach. And myths like any cleaning service can get rid of mold. Here’s the truth. In as little as 48 hours, mold can quickly become a problem in your home or business when there’s a water intrusion, like a roof leak or leaking water line. Mold can cause health effects and major damage to your property. It can grow virtually anywhere, doesn’t completely go away if treated with bleach, and many cleaning companies can’t do proper mold remediation. SERVPRO of Bloomfield/Enfield can. We have the training, protective gear, specialized equipment, and experience necessary to handle any residential or commercial mold problem. Your property returns to a mold-free condition "Like it never even happened."
