Mold was present in ceiling joists

Mold was found present in ceiling joists of this building.

This ceiling was covered with mold due to a water leak from the floor above that went undetected for a while which causes erosion of the wood. 

SERVPRO of Bethesda/Potomac was called in to remediate the problem. The priority on any water damage or mold remediation is the health and safety of anyone who is in the work area. SERVPRO of Bethesda/Potomac follows IICRC Standards for setting proper containment, ventilation and air filtration. Once the area was safe to work in, SERVPRO of Bethesda/Potomac technicians put on the appropriate Personal Protective Equipment and set to work. We removed the drywall and all effected contents. The exposed boards were treated with an antimicrobial spray to protect against mold reoccurring. Trapped moisture can cause mold to grow in any structure. We commonly encounter mold in damp basements, poorly vented bathrooms, and even in attics. Whether it’s your home, business, or commercial dredge ship, SERVPRO of Bethesda/Potomac is equipped to remediate the mold problem.
