Ceiling tiles are common in business and commercial settings. Unlike other types of ceiling material, they easily show water stains. Those water stains if left untreated can lead to mold growth. That is what we see here. The lesson? Act fast when a disaster happens, it may prevent further damage and save you money in the long run.

Once mold spores find a suitable surface they begin to grow and spread. If there's mold growth somewhere, it should tell you about the environment. Has there been water damage there before? Is there proper ventilation? Is the area humid? The answers to one or more of these questions may point the possibility of mold being present. Our trained SERVPRO technicians are trained to tackle mold and your moisture problems.
