Why Call?

• Mold Mitigation is Difficult
  • Unless the affected area is small, theEnvironmental Protection Agency(EPA) recommends that homeowners hire people who are trained to use the toxic chemicals, equipment, and intensive labor required for mold mitigation. Many people think just using good old fashioned bleach is acceptable, but not only does it not work, sometimes it can cause additional health and property challenges. Your home or business must have professional mold mitigation. SERVPRO has the skill and training.
