Mold Damage Repair in Yorba Linda, Ca

4/24/2014 (Permalink)

Recently SERVPRO Brea/Yorba Linda received a call from a distressed client because the drainpipe connected to their toilet burst and sewage water leaked everywhere. SERVPRO Brea/Yorba Linda has also rescued other families that have encountered unexpected toilet leaks that can lead to serious water and structural damage to your home.  Professional water damage repair is often necessary after an unexpected catastrophe with a leaking or clogged toilet because “grey water," which has chemical contaminants, can cause sickness and discomfort.  Water damage is a hassle to clean but if the water is not properly extracted it can lead to hazardous mold growth in your bathroom.

Within 24-48 hours mold spores multiply in moist areas and pose a serious health threat. According the United States Environmental Protection Agency, mold exposure is associated with allergic reactions, asthma, and other respiratory complaints and can require mold damage remediation. The EPA also stresses that if you have a problem where mold could grow, act quickly because over time mold damage can destroy home furnishings and spread infectious diseases.

The best way to be on guard against mold and avoid mold damage repair is to prevent it from taking over your bathroom. Here are some tips to help you control the moisture in your bathroom and make sure contaminated water is handled properly.

  • Put on the Air: Use your bathroom ventilation fan when you are using the shower. Ventilation fans can make sure that air circulates properly and get rid of excess moisture that builds on shower walls and curtains. If you absolutely have to, open the bathroom door during showers.
  • Double check pipes: Review all pipes around the toilet and sink. Water is more likely to seep out of pipes that are old or damaged. Ten percent of homes have leaks that waste 90 gallons or more per day.
  • Clean all nooks and crannies:  Mold loves dark damp crevices so make sure you scrub the bathrooms corners and grout if you have tile floor so you can kill all bacteria.

After a water damage disaster let SERVPRO Brea/Yorba Linda alleviate all your worries and clean up your mess immediately so you can avoid all mold damage repair in Yorba Linda.
