EXPERT MOLD REMOVAL FOR YOUR HOME

 


Don’t underestimate the danger of mold in your home. Many types of mold are hazardous to your health and can also damage the structure of your home, especially black mold which is often found in bathrooms and basements. Mold grows indoors on wet or damp surfaces such as carpets, ceiling tiles, wallpaper, insulation, wood and drywall. 

Mold can start to grow within 48 hours after flooding or other water damage and, if not removed quickly and by a professional, can have a serious impact on personal health and cause damage to your home’s physical structure.

If you notice the presence of mold in your home, contact the industry-leading mold removal experts, ServiceMaster Restore of Peterborough. We are here to professionally remove mold from your home and prevent potential health risks and long-term damage to your property.
